Hoosier Park Race 8 - Race 8
DRINK UP DRINK UP (5) won at Oak Grove Racing two runs ago before finishing fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Oak Grove Racing, beaten 15 metres. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. TRIATHLON AS (4) turned in an uncharacteristically poor run last start when 25 metres away in sixth over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway. Form prior to that had been solid. This doesn't look as hard so she is sure to prove tough to beat. FAMOUS FATHER (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m. DOVER IN MOTION (6) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1609m at this track.

Returns from the paddock. His previous first-up run was successful when he won by a 0.8 m (Fr6) at this track (1:54.40) beating Starlitfranknstein in ISS-ELG3YC on May 17 at $8.90. Might be better for this run.
