Hoosier Park Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $11,412

A NEW ENDEAVOR (4) filled a minor placing at this track two runs ago before finishing seventh at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 metres. This doesn't look as hard so he is in the right race to find winning form. DOWNBYTHEOCEAN (1) could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, failing to live up to market expectations. Has the benefit of a good draw. The recent run not a true indication. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. EVILEYE FLEEGLE (8) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Northfield Park over 1609m. Genuine threat. LOW RIDER (5) must be considered after he finished third when resuming over 1609m at this track eight days ago.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Sanday (1:52.00) in NW5500L4 on February 19 at $1.30. Showed ability the race before when he won by 4 m (Fr6) at this track (1:51.30) beating On Time Ted in NW5500L4 on February 13 at $3.50. Capable of taking this out.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following February 13 run. Last start won by 4 m (Fr4) at this track (1:53.40) beating Boundtobefearless in NW3000L4 on February 20 at $12.40. This race will be harder than that win. Wait until he shows more.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Sanday (1:52.00) in NW5500L4 on February 19 at $7.20. Must be respected with that run under his belt.

Improved last start with a game effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 30 m by Lil Plugs (1:55.40) in NW3500L4 on February 1 at $3.10. Nice effort last time. Winning hope.
