Hawthorne Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
ELI'S PROMISE (5) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 1207m at Oaklawn Park. The engagement of Olaf Hernandez is a positive move. This doesn't look as hard so he can turn things around. SMOKEN BOY (1) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at Turfway Park but couldn't back it up last start when sixth, beaten 10 lengths, over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. CALL ME Q (2) has not raced since he finished off last campaign with a strong win over 1106m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) 16 months ago. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Winning claims on best figures. HEART N SOUL (6) was beaten 7 lengths into seventh in a 1207m contest at Oaklawn Park last time out. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
