Hoosier Park Race 13

Race 13

Stake: $20,363

CANTTOUCHMETHERE (6) added to his recent string of strong performances last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. Meets a comparable field so he can add to the sound recent efforts. BRO ROMEY (5) again drew a wide gate last start but produced a strong effort, beaten 8 metres into third at this track over 1609m. Primary contender if anywhere near his best. ONE FIVE (2) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Should run a big race. PRACTICAL JOKE (3) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Some Great Deal at this track over 1609m in a HG NW1PM on June 30 at $22.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Maximus Warrior at this track over 1609m in a HGNW1PM on July 9 at $6.20. Well placed to go a couple better.
