Hawthorne Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SINE QUA NON (1) returned from a spell last start with a modest sixth over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 3 lengths. Loves racing here and has managed two wins from three visits. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will be tough to stop. MONSIEUR CANDY (5) is racing well but struggling to break through, the latest effort another minor placing when third over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Good record at this journey including two wins so he is expected to be in the finish. RAVIN'S RANSOM (2) went forward when resuming last start over 1207m at Hawthorne (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. STRATO (6) finished third two runs back at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1.3 lengths as favourite over 1207m at Hawthorne (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd of 8 at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on May 14 over 1006m, 1.1 len behind Dark Vintage with 55.5kg at $3.20. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 12 at Fairgrounds Turf in LR on March 21 over 1106m, 1.75 len behind Nine Part with 54kg at $4.30. Everything points towards a big run.
