Hoosier Park Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $17,118

KOUNTRY DION (1) finished second last start, beaten 23 metres at this track over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Has the ability to take this out. PONDA AVENUE (5) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 21 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. DEWTIFUL CAMDEN (7) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m. BLUEBIRD HEMI (4) did not make an impact last start but strips fitter third-up and can improve from this favourable draw.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m second behind Dewtiful Camden at this track over 1609m IS2HGNW1PM last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres second again at this track same class on July 22. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.

Two-year-old colt lining up for the second time. At debut 7th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by Nectar Of The Gods (1:56.30) in ISS-2CG on July 23 at $16.60. Might find this lot a bit smart.
