Hoosier Park Race 6 - Race 6

FAMOUS FATHER (2) took full advantage of the inside draw when a dominant winner at this course and distance last time out. Has the benefit of another good draw. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. NIKO MAN (4) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can give this a mighty shake. HELPFIRSTEDITION (3) 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. PONDA JET (5) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track.
