Hawthorne Race 2

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: -

CODE RUNNER (5) Ran on when 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last start at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing but testing ability against stronger contenders. Will be trying to topple them late. Winning claims. EUCLID AVENUE (3) Narrowly clinched the victory last time at the track but stepping up to a higher level. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 starts. Expect to go close. WESTEROS (1) Finished 2nd last run at this track and has drawn the rails. Displays good tactical speed. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . LITTLE STEVEN (6) Didn't threaten when 8th last run around here. Giving another chance here but competing in a more challenging class. Should come to hand quickly. Solid place bet prospects.

Back from a break of 32 weeks. Closed off nicely when 4th last run here and competing in an easier class. Has a good draw. Others preferred.

Mediocre attempt when 5th last time at the track but racing over extra ground. Up against a more competitive field. Very hard to have.

At $10.00 weakened to finish 8th last run around here. Giving another chance here but facing stiffer opposition. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Has a credible chance.
