Hoosier Park Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $19,113

DRY CREEK KODIAK (6) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last nine starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at this track. Has the talent to take this out. PONDA ROCKY (3) finished fourth at this track two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 19 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This is a nice drop in grade so he is in the right race to return to form. MEHELPINGYOU (8) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. LITTLE CHIPPER (2) is a consistent performer with three top-three finishes on the trot. Won't let backers down.
