Hoosier Park Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $70,613

NIGHTHAWK ZETTE (6) was once again right in the mix last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. BRAVO ALPHA (3) finished runner-up at his most recent outing, beaten 0.8 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. SWAN JAYDEN (2) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fourth at this track over 1609m. DOUBLE A CATALAC (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Premier Bluebird at this track over 1609m in a NW4 SER-E on August 7 at $5.90. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Tuggin Thomas at this track over 1609m in a NW4PMLT-F on August 14 at $7.10. One of the key runners.
