Hawthorne Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SINE QUA NON (5) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into sixth over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. BREAK OUT (2) won over 1646m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on January 14. Rates highly and should take some beating. PROTONIC POWER (1) was below his best last time when eighth over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. The engagement of Julio Felix is a positive move. Has the class to return to form. JOURNEY (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on November 2, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1609m at this track (Turf). Sure to make his presence felt.
