Hoosier Park Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $27,156

DREAMING OF LOU (4) put the writing on the wall two runs ago then improved further last start when he scored by 8 metres over 1609m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can make it consecutive wins. JOKER ROCKWELL (5) missed the placings for the second time in a row last start when 6 metres away in fourth over 1609m at this track. Recent form includes a win at this track four starts back on August 8. The recent run not a true indication. Good enough to take out a race like this. LOW RIDER (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. ROUND HERE BUZZ (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m.
