Hoosier Park Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $30,899

DOVER IN MOTION (5) was expected to do a lot more last time out when fifth, beaten 22 metres, over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that was solid, including a win over 1609m at this track two starts ago. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. NIKO MAN (6) missed the placings for the second time in a row last start when 19 metres away in fourth over 1609m at this track. Recent form includes a win at Miami Valley Raceway three starts back on February 11. The recent run not a true indication. Good enough to put himself right in the finish. FLAGMAN (8) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished second over 1609m at this track last time out. DRINK UP DRINK UP (4) must be considered after he finished third when resuming over 1609m at this track a week ago.

Brings the right form to the table. Posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr7) at this track (1:56.10) beating Southwind Mai Tai in NW5500L4CL on February 20 at $1.90. Two runs back 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Late Nite Hawk (1:55.00) in OPEN 2-3 on November 14 at $21.30. Will struggle to compete against the top handful.

Having his second run back from a spell. Solid effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 16 m by Famous Father (1:53.30) in OPEN 1-2 on February 27 at $9.60. Sure to be in the mix again.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 22 m by Famous Father (1:53.30) in OPEN 1-2 on February 27 at $2. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 7 m win (Fr5) at this track (1:55.10) beating A Real Legend in OPEN 2-3 on February 20 at $2.40. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Famous Father (1:53.30) in OPEN 1-2 on February 27 at $3.20. Will come on following that run and is a leading contender.
