Hoosier Park Race 11

Race 11

Prize Money: $30,683

PONDA JET (6) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. Recent efforts are good enough to win a race of this calibre. FAMOUS FATHER (4) made it two wins from his last three outings a week ago, getting home by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. FINITE (3) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 0.6 metres at this track over 1609m. DRINK UP DRINK UP (5) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him score over 1609m at this track.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following May 30 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.6 m (Fr1) at this track (1:53.10) beating Whiskey Lou in OPEN on June 6 at $10.50. This race will be harder than that win. Looks outclassed.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by On To Norway (1:51.40) in OPEN on May 30 at $20.80. Showed ability the race before when he won by 1.5 m (Fr6) at this track (1:52.40) beating Ponda Jet in OPEN on May 23 at $4.30. Capable of turning things around.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Drink Up Drink Up at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on May 23 at $2. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind On To Norway at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on May 30 at $6.20. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.
