Hoosier Park Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $25,862

IM SKINNYDIPIN N (4) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his victory last start, scoring by 8 metres over 1609m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. COMBUSTION (3) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a suitable assignment and can discover winning form. TELLMEABOUTIT (5) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished third at this track over 1609m. FLY HIGH CRUISER (2) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Rip Wheeler at this track over 1609m in a OPEN1-2HDC on October 8 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Shooting In Place at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on October 23 at $7.70. Capable of a strong showing.
