Hoosier Park Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $31,384

WINNPANZEE (6) scored by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from her past four outings. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. PONDA JET (5) is a talented gelding who has amassed five wins and six minor placings from 11 starts this prep. Produced another fine effort last start when he finished second over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. FINITE (4) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. DRINK UP DRINK UP (3) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Ponda Jet at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on July 25 at $12.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind On To Norway at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on August 8 at $28.80. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Last start good run when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 m by On To Norway (1:52.00) in OPEN on August 8 at $9.90. Two runs back won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:52.30) beating Finite in OPEN on July 25 at $1.30. Sure to play a major role.
