Hoosier Park Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $14,265

CAPTAIN SLEAZE (5) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 6 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Tackles a similar assignment and he can finish a lot closer this time. NATIONAL SPORT (1) finished eighth last start, beaten 30 metres at this track over 1609m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. BLUEBIRD ZANTRAX (6) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out. MR DS ROCK (7) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him finish second over 1609m at this track.
