Hawthorne Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
FREEDOM EMPIRE (2) is a 15-start maiden but does look to be edging towards a win, the latest effort an encouraging second at this track (Dirt) over 1106m after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CREATING HAVOC (5) improved last time out, finishing 12 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1207m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. GRAY MIKE (4) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but faded to finish fourth over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. GO CHICAGO (1) is a three-year-old colt who has filled a minor placing just once in five runs. Failed to threaten when 15 lengths from the winner in fourth first up last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Backmarker who gets home hard. Can run on into the finish.
