Hawthorne Race 1

Post Time 7:10 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
2 Dialogue - 8-5 3 Fox Valley Pepper - 2-1 4 Pd's Diamond Hope - 5-1

DIALOGUE raced into early traffic trouble last out which was costly. Clear sailing tonight should make the difference. FOX VALLEY PEPPER got off to a later start but looks to be quickly figuring things out. PD'S DIAMOND HOPE is 10/13 ITM this year. Figures to be a factor for the gimmicks.

Hawthorne Race 2

Post Time 7:30 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
5 Kays In Charge - 9-5 2 Highclasvegasbunny - 2-1 4 What A Legacy - 5-2

KAYS IN CHARGE has never been worse than second in ten career starts. That shouldn't change tonight. HIGHCLASSVEGASBUNNY has been better in the last couple. Benefits from the short field. WHAT A LEGACY will also benefit from the small bunch. Can come rolling late.

Hawthorne Race 3

Post Time 7:50 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
6 Call Me Maevey - 2-1 3 Shady Maple Becker - 6-5 2 Mustang Danny - 7-2

No real standout here as CALL ME MAEVY has been the most consistent in this field. Expect him to rate and rally tonight. SHADY MAPLE BECKER has some speed in a race lacking pace. May take advantage and head for the top. MUSTANG DANNY is the other that could leave. He won on the front end three back.

Hawthorne Race 4

2 Dandy's Princess - 8-5 5 Lous Night Vision - 5-2 1 Lou's My Number - 7-5

All three of these are very evenly matched. Thinking the ability of DANDY'S PRINCESS to show early speed could be the determining factor.

Hawthorne Race 5

Post Time 8:30 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
5 Wildcat Abby - 7-5 3 I Love My Captain - 5-1 2 Fox Valley Starlet - 9-2

WILDCAT ABBY looks to be a standout in here as she's found the board in all 15 career starts. She figures to dictate things on the front end. I LOVE MY CAPTAIN has garnered points for this series in her last couple. She's a very consistent pacer. FOX VALLEY STARLET has been better in her last three. Six runner-up efforts make it worth looking at her underneath in gimmicks.

Hawthorne Race 6

Post Time 8:50 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
6 Dandy's Freedom - 6-5 5 Jimmy D Shark - 7-2 4 Mr Ain't Goin - 5-2

Three straight wins for DANDY'S FREEDOM as he needed to get points in this series. A repeat of that last effort puts him solidly in the final. JIMMY D SHARK just missed in the last couple. Comes flying late. MR AIN'T GOIN has also been better in the last three. Still looking for the first win.

Hawthorne Race 8

Post Time 9:30 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
2 One Trip Chip - 7-2 5 Louise's Legacy - 2-1 6 Sunburnt Silverado - 9-5

Another spot with an upset chance as ONE TRIP CHIP draws favorably tonight. He was a game winner in his last and should get a good stalking trip. LOUISE'S LEGACY has found the board in all nine starts. Let's see if she sends from here. SUNBURNT SILVERADO rated and rallied last out. Every chance to do so again.

Hawthorne Race 9

Post Time 9:50 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
4 Fox Valley Jasmine - 6-1 3 Fox Valley Groupie - 7-5 1 Thebeautifulthings - 9-5

FOX VALLEY JASMINE has been solid in her last five. Not sure we get 6-1 in this spot. FOX VALLEY GROUPIE has also been good this year. Looks to rate and rally late. THEBEAUTIFULTHINGS looks to get some points in this spot. Expect she leaves for the top.

Hawthorne Race 10

Post Time 10:10 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
7 Cash Money Twenty - 1-1 2 Fox Valley Stoli - 6-1 4 Battlin Bob - 7-2

CASH MONEY TWENTY is making a bid at Illinois Horse of the Year as he has some much ability. The only concern is that he can be quite active at times and gets the final race of the night.
