Hoosier Park Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $16,405

ROCKING JK (5) made it two wins from his last five outings a week ago, getting home by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. MIDNIGHT PRO (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. SIERRA SHOOTER (8) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. GREAT PRETENDER (4) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him score over 1609m at this track. Something for the Multiples: ALVIN HANOVER (2)

Brings the right form to the table. Won by a 0.9 m (Fr1) at The Red Mile (1:54.10) beating Big Sal in NW1PM on August 12 at $6.87. Two runs back 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at The Red Mile, beaten 35 m by Caviart Anders (1:52.20) in NW2PM on July 28 at $57.74. Prefer in something a bit easier.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Rock My Memory at this track over 1609m in a NW2PM on August 14 at $2.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Rocking Jk at this track over 1609m in a WO1-4/20CL on August 27 at $5.10. Strong winning prospects.
