Hoosier Park Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $20,115

FLY HIGH CRUISER (5) has been racing very well and deserved his success last time out, scoring by 0.8 metres over 1609m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. KEYSER SOZE (6) was disappointing last start when fifth over 1609m at this track after 10 wins and four minor placings from his previous 15 starts. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. STEELY KNIFE (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 14 metres at this track over 1609m. PONDA FERARRI (4) is worth some thought based on his second over 1609m at this track two runs ago.

Last start won by 14 m (Fr6) at this track (1:50.00) beating Henry The Horse in NW3000L4 on October 2 at $5.20. Going well enough to play a big role again.

Capable of better than what we have seen in two runs this prep. Two starts back 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 55 m by Shamwow (1:49.00) in NW5000L4 on July 31 at $28.30. There are better betting propositions.
