Hoosier Park Race 11

Race 11

Prize Money: $30,726

PONDA JET (5) is racing well with 10 top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at this track over 1609m. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of continuing his fine form. OPERATOR (4) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last five starts, most recently recording a second over 1609m at this track. Leading hope in this comparable race. DRINK UP DRINK UP (6) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago. NIKO MAN (2) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 1.5 m by Calculated Concept (1:53.20) in NW10000L4 on May 16 at $1.50. Two runs back won by a 0.8 m (Fr8) at this track (1:54.00) beating Southwind Mai Tai in OPEN 2-3 on May 9 at $20.20. Strong prospects.

Fair performance when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind On To Norway at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on May 2 at $3.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind On To Norway at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on May 16 at $6.50. Definite winning chance.
