Hawthorne Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
HILARIOUS AFFAIR (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1106m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. EVEN THE WIND (3) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1609m at this track. Comes here with definite claims. LITTLE STEVEN (8) finished 4.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1207m at Oaklawn Park three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Leading hope. MAN ON ATTACK (5) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Should park just off the speed. Must be respected.

Most recently 4th of 8 at Hawthorne on May 7 over 1673m, 21 len behind Sponge Bath carrying 56kg at $2.70. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Fairgrounds Turf on March 22 over 1811m, 3 len behind Masqueparade with 55kg at $4.60. Would rather see in something easier.
