Hawthorne Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Optional Claiming
BIZZEE CHANNEL (9) went forward over 1811m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) last time and held on for third. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Will prove tough to beat. EVEN THE WIND (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf, beaten 7 lengths into seventh. Faces an easier assignment so he can find the winners' list. PEOPLE FORCE (8) is mixing form recently on the dirt. Finished fifth at Fairgrounds two starts back then improved to score at Hawthorne over 1673m two-and-a-half weeks ago. Expected to run well again. WICKED SUPRISE (1) returns from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Closed off last prep in great form including a dominant win over 1509m at this track (Turf) at his most recent appearance. Has the speed to be prominent. Should give backers a sight.

Finished off last preparation by 2.75 len this track October 26 over 1509m defeating River Redemption with 56kg at $6.30. Previously first up; sixth of 8 at this track May 15 over 1710m, 6 len behind Temper Tantrum carrying 55.5kg at $3.30. Worth keeping in mind.
