HAWTHORNE
BOLTIN’ BRIAN: Stepped up in class and gave better performance for third in recent local debut; Florida invader is a son of Broad Brush and
likely to improve with racing.
FLEMISH CAP: Easily led throughout to take his third straight most recently; staying on this bandwagon for barn that currently can’t do any
wrong this meet.
GLITTER MAID: Figures primed for move forward now with a pair of starts under her saddle since returning from useful and brief break; expect
more speed.
NOT A BAD BOY: Comes from winning outfit and is likely to catch the right group of restricted maidens before long; rounding to better form since
return from break.
SPRUCE LAKE: Lightly raced 4YO figures primed for best start yet in third start of current form cycle; fair sprint effort could have him set for
first route try.
STONEWAY: Chased and could not match top pair in latest, but did bounce back from stopping effort when trying route in prior start; talent
is there.
STORM THE BEACH: Rallied for second after breaking slow once again in latest – note, tricky rail post could not have helped; due some racing
luck and diploma.
WEST SIDE MARIA: Hasn’t gotten on track versus allowance company since return to local scene, but can step up with move to claiming and/or
turf contests.
4STARSPECIAL: SPIRITUALLY: Rallied for a distant third in race dominated by Sandbagger Jones, and should only improve upon course
debut made when returning from layoff.
LONGSHOT: BROKEN JAW: Flashed good early speed and tired late to finish third in first attempt since last-September; prolific check-getter
benefits from course return.
BAY MEADOWS
APOLLO TREASURE: Winless in eight attempts, but has really run only one bad race to date. Must include her in your
exotics wagers.
CLONAKILTY ROSE: Much better since stretching to one mile. Try and get some value on this gal; maiden claimers.
CYCLE OF LIFE: It looks like a drop down in class will be necessary in order for this filly to get it done. Get some bang for
your buck.
DON’T STOP NOW: Improved a ton to be third in her first attempt shipping in from Southern California. Fits like a glove here.
I’LL SURVIVE: Set the early splits, then faded to finish a well-beaten fourth on the stretch out to one mile. Give her another shot if cut
back in distance.
MCKENNAN: Broke slowly from the one-hole while third in his debut. Can build off that effort and move forward.
RING OF FRIENDSHIP: Exited the maiden ranks with a sharp four-length score Apr. 4. Ready for winners on the turf.
ROYAL ROBEY: Proved he could handle the next level with a second-place finish at 31-1. Won’t see that price again, but can still
offer value.
SHIRAZBERRY: Opened up a 10-length lead at the half-mile pole, before tiring to finish second beaten four lengths. Speed always
makes this mare dangerous.
SUPER STREAK: Nine-year-old tried turf for the first time in his latest attempt and finished a modest seventh. Returns to his winning
ways back on the dirt.
TWELVEYEARSLATER: Consistent runner clearly needed her latest returning from the lengthy layoff. Should be backed accordingly
in a similar spot.
TWOTIMINSMOKESTER: Sharp in his first two, then got crushed when stepped up to $16,000 taggers. Playable for a $8,000 tag.
4STARSPECIAL: BAILEY’S YODELER: Was given only a 7-1 chance to win at first asking, but smoked ‘em by five lengths after
setting :21 2/5 and :44 4/5 fractions. Must follow right back.
LONGSHOT: HONEY FLOWER: Took a major step forward running sixth at 46-1 last time after the 12th-place finish first time
out. Steady progress.
