Hawthorne Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight
HURRICANE EXPRESS (3) was prominent at the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1509m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. THIS BEAU KNOWS (7) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work and looks close to a maiden win, the latest effort a second over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf). Solid prospects. STORM BACK (4) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten one length, over 1509m at this track (Turf). Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be underestimated. SUPER MCKINZIE (8) finished second on debut six weeks ago over 1710m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 8 lengths. Has definite claims.

Third-up today. First-up got back early second last in a small field at Hawthorne on April 23 over 1006m, 19 len behind Iceberg Slim carrying 56.5kg at $44.30. Second run from a spell ran last of 9 at this track on May 10 over 1509m, 21 len behind Nitschke carrying 56.5kg at $48.60. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Five-year-old gelding by Oscar Performance out of Rally Catcher who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Expect there will be plenty of interest from punters.
