The Sunday feature at Hawthorne Racecourse rolls in Race 9, a condition pace with a $9,200 purse. The headliner from a betting perspective is the 0.50 Late Pick 4 which has a $30,000 guaranteed pool. The competitive sequence starts in Race 6 and will be my focus. 

The pilots with the hottest hands on Saturday were Kyle Husted, Kyle Wilfong and Travis Seekman who each took two pictures. On the 11-race card no trainer had more than one win. 

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track. 

Race 6 

2-Always Party Time-Form has been dull but can close and could be put into play sooner, using versus this crew. 
3-Western Vinny-Will look to skim the cones and shake loose late, Franco just missed last time, so beware. 
5-Parkes Boy-Beaten chalk was used hard early in last, makes 4th start for new barn and should be in the mix. 
7-Evco Lane-Fits better here but because of earnings draws outside and that could be the fly in the ointment. 

Race 7 

2-Michonne-Looking for 3rd straight, draws inside so should be forwardly placed, could win again if minds manners. 
7-Letsgoforitall-HoP invader tries Lasix and has been facing better, looks to be a square price and fits well. 
8-Oh So Pine-Looking for 1st win of '19 after banking >$95k in '18, will be tighter and looks like a player. 

Race 8 

4-Americanboy-Gets post relief and drops, that should help provisional driver stay in the hunt. 
6-Lots Of Pride-Needs a trip and hasn't gotten a good one in last 2, Leonard may find some cover and snag 3rd win. 
7-Mystical Charger-Decent effort versus better and now drops to a spot to shine but is only 1-17. 

Race 9 

1-Sheriff Coffey-Rolled a 54.4 2nd half but had the 2nd tier and pace was slow, should be in play to fly by late. 
2-Shadyman-Has had excuses but needs to find a way to seal the deal, draws well and Anderson should work a trip. 
7-PH Hippie-Moves up after a big improvement in last 2, will respect chances for an encore but this could be tougher.
