Hoosier Park Race 1

Race 1

Prize Money: $34,109

YO BETH D (1) is in good form with top-five finishes at her last four starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to test this field. SEVEN SINS (3) won at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Faces a similar assignment. Good enough to take out a race like this. TRIATHLON AS (5) ended last prep with a win at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m four months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. PONDA JET (4) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following August 2 run. Last start posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:51.40) beating Famous Father in NW15000L4 on August 9 at $2.10. This race will be harder than that win. Needs to do more.
