Hoosier Park Race 14

Race 14

Prize Money: $20,833

NUMBER CRUNCHER (2) scored by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from his past three runs. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. PONDA FERARRI (5) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last five starts including a third most recently at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar line up so he can play a significant role. BRIGADE (3) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m. Must be included. FALCON (1) could only finish ninth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Combustion at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 2 on September 4 at $9.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Number Cruncher at this track over 1609m in a WO5-9PM on September 18 at $12. Capable of taking this out.
