Hoosier Park Race 11

Race 11

Prize Money: $21,398

PONDA FERARRI (1) finished second last start, beaten 2.25 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player again. BOOK THE FIGHT (4) has been racing very well of late and went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and 4 metres from the winner. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. QUANTUM (7) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at this track. No reason the run cannot continue. FALCON (3) disappointed last time when ninth over 1609m at this track. Can atone.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Keyser Soze at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 3 on August 7 at $22.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Tellmeaboutit at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 3 on August 14 at $35. This race appears well within his grasp.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 6 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:52.10) beating Ez Spree in W4-9CLM on August 6 at $1.10. Hard to leave out on current form. Sure to give backers a sight.
