Hoosier Park Race 12

Race 12

Prize Money: $25,678

GOLDEN BAY N (8) finished eighth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 22 metres, after a modest eighth at this track the run prior. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Finds a nice race and can make amends. COMBUSTION (1) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 2.25 metres. Expect him to be prominent. TELLMEABOUTIT (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4 metres at this track over 1609m. A COOL MOMENT (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.8 metres at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: HORN PLAYER LOU A (6)

Last start good run when 3rd (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 2.25 m by Naturally Gifted (1:49.30) in NW4000L4-F on August 14 at $3. Two runs back posted a big 7 m win as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:50.10) beating Henry The Horse in NW4000SERE on August 7 at $1.20. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by M M S Bud (1:48.30) in ISS 4YO&UP on August 21 at $31.30. Two runs back posted a big 6 m win (Fr2) at this track (1:48.20) beating Shamwow in OPEN 4 on August 7 at $2.60. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following July 31 run. Last start won by 2.25 m (Fr5) at this track (1:49.20) beating Ponda Ferarri in NW7500L4 on August 14 at $17.60. This race will be harder than that win. Happy to risk in this.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Keyser Soze at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 3 on August 7 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Captain Arturovico at this track over 1609m in a INVITATION on August 14 at $62. Perfectly placed to win again.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 22 m by Captain Arturovico (1:49.00) in INVITATION on August 14 at $45.10. At the previous start 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 23 m by Little Rocket Man (1:49.20) in OPEN on August 7 at $4.80. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.
