Hoosier Park Race 6

Race 6

Stake: $79,601

NECTAR OF THE GODS (7) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. STARBOARD (5) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another bold race. KOUNTRY DION (6) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. BEAVER (4) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Last start 4th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by So Joyful (1:55.10) in ISS-2CGT on July 31 at $66.10. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Walkin Through It (1:59.00) in ISSE-2CGT on July 23 at $5.30. Genuine contender.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Nectar Of The Gods at this track over 1609m in a ISS-2CGT on July 31 at $5.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Tipsy In Vegas at this track over 1609m in a ISSE-2CGT on August 13 at $7.70. Can build on that fine effort last start.

Last start good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 m by Swan Good Bi (1:55.10) in ISSE-2CGT on August 13 at $5.30. Two runs back won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:56.40) beating Heffae in ISS-2CGT on July 31 at $2.10. Going nicely and looks a top chance.
