Hawthorne Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
MAN ON ATTACK (1) returns from a spell of four months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Is a winner at this circuit. Among the leading chances. RODAVLAS (7) improved sharply on his eighth two starts back at Fairgrounds (Dirt) with a win over 1006m at Hawthorne (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PONCHO ATTACK (3) is back from a spell of four months. Turned in a fair effort at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 1207m at his only run last prep, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths. Form at this track is solid. Expected to run well. MR. SWEETS (6) was beaten 8 lengths into sixth over 1207m at Tampa Bay Downs four weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. Something for the Multiples: STORM'S REFLECTION (2)

Second-up. First-up after eight months 5th of 7 at Fairmount Park on May 2 over 1006m, 12 len behind Fast Cross Traffic with 56kg at $27.50. Previously second-up 2nd of 8 at this track on June 26 over 1106m, 4 len behind Dark Vintage carrying 55.5kg at $31.70. Should progress from that first-up run.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 10 at Tampa Bay Downs on April 15 over 1207m, 8 len behind Redbird Nation with 56kg at $32.50. The run before that ran last of 10 at Tampa Bay Downs on March 29 over 1408m, 23 len behind Dontbesoogrouchy with 53.5kg at $8.80. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
