Hoosier Park Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $17,417

OPERATOR (4) finished seventh last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 metres, after a good second at this track the run prior. Has the ability to take care of this field. NIKO MAN (2) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. FLAGMAN (3) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. FLIRTNWITHTHEPILOT (5) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following June 16 run. Last start posted a big 4 m win (Fr7) at this track (1:54.40) beating Top Me Off in NW1000L4CL on June 20 at $3.40. This race will be harder than that win. Looks outclassed.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following June 13 run. Last start won by 2.25 m (Fr1) at this track (1:53.10) beating Toy's For You in NW5000L4CL on June 20 at $6.60. This race will be harder than that win. Looks to be making up the numbers.
