Jim's Picks

Hawthorne Race 1

Post Time 2:43 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
3 Gogh - 3/1 1 Bridge Classic - 5/2 2 Union Cait - 4/1

3-GOGH ran on late in his second start out. I think there's some speed to chase as he should run by in the lane. 1-BRIDGE CLASSIC has speed and will be hustled from the rail. Let's see if any firster goes with him. 2-UNION CAIT has worked well coming into this race. The barn has had them ready all meet long and this one merits a look.

Hawthorne Race 2

Post Time 3:17 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
6 Alto Road - 3/1 4 Star of Kodiak - 5/2 1 Alibi Ike - 7/2

Not much pace in here as 6-ALTO ROAD should be quick enough to clear early and possibly wire in here. 4-STAR OF KODIAK ran a good race in his last. Let's see if he gets enough pace to chase. 1-ALIBI IKE rated close last out. Expect similar today as we will see if he finishes.

Hawthorne Race 3

Post Time 3:47 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
2 Best Dressed Man - 9/2 5 San Anton (IRE) - 5/2 4 My Last Escapade - 8/5

There's no pace in here which should help 2-BEST DRESSED MAN. He almost held on in his last and now gets his second straight around two turns. 5-SAN ANTON (IRE) made a move into the lane and was a clear second in his last. He's back to the main track here and figures to take action. 4-MY LAST ESCAPADE is overdue for the maiden score. He's hit the board in half of 14 career starts. Eventually he will break through.

Hawthorne Race 4

Post Time 4:17 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
5 Freedom Lass - 8/5 3 Roar of Silence - 5/2 1 What's to Do - 6/1

Not too creative here as I look to the favorites. 5-FREEDOM LASS ran well in her last and should rate closer in a race with zero pace. 3-ROAR OF SILENCE was a good winner two back but a bit disappointing in her last. expect her to show more in here. 1-WHAT'S TO DO could be best off if she is sent away early. He last was decent and the price should be right.

Hawthorne Race 5

Post Time 4:47 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
7 Frontier Marshal - 4/5 4 Jakes Channel - 5/1 6 Good Yegg - 7/2

6-FRONTIER MARSHAL provides no value but is an absolute standout. He should be stalking the pace early and I expect he draws away in the lane. 4-JAKES CHANNEL ran well with Loveberry two back. He finds the easiest field of his career and could pick off horses late. 6-GOOD YEGG could show some speed. He comes off a bit of a rest but ran well in his last three.

Hawthorne Race 6

Post Time 5:17 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
5 Silky Warrior (IRE) - 9/2 2 Royal Laughter - 9/5 1 Pasta Salad Rhonda - 3/1

I think you can toss the last race from 5-SILKY WARRIOR. That came on a wet track where she was hung very wide. With a fast track and pace to chase, she should roll late. 2-ROYAL LAUGHTER will also benefit from a contested pace. She takes a big class drop in search of a win. 1-PASTA SALAD RHONDA ran a good race in her last. She was claimed out of that spot and will also benefit from pace to chase.

Hawthorne Race 7

Post Time 5:47 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
2 Suprise Me Again - 2/1 6 Rietta - 7/2 4 Star Blessing (IRE) - 5/2

A couple with speed in here to set things up for the closing move of 2-SUPRISE ME AGAIN. Her starts on the grass two and three back were solid as she looks to run by in the lane. 6-RIETTA is one with speed. Her race three back was strong as we will see if she tries to steal this. 4-STAR BLESSING (IRE) ran a big race in her last. She showed good speed and never looked back. The question here is if she will have company early from Rietta.

Hawthorne Race 8

Post Time 6:17 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
6 Soul Coaxing - 8/5 3 Handsoffthegoods - 5/1 5 Remember the Fear - 10/1

6-SOUL COAXING likes this track and comes off a strong race in his last. There is pace to chase as he should rate and close well late. 3-HANDSOFFTHEGOODS is another that will benefit from some pace ahead of him. He has improved in his last couple and should provide some value. 5-REMEMBER THE FEAR has been good in two of his last three. He goes back around two turns and also should be a good price.
