Hoosier Park Race 4 - Race 4

BIG SKEWY N (4) turned in a much better run last time out when he scored by 0.8 metres over 1609m at this track. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. GULLFAXI (2) filled a minor placing at this track two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. BACKSTREET GAMBLER (8) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at this track. No reason the run cannot continue. TOPVILLE RUSTLER (3) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1609m at this track.

Well beaten last start by Backstreet Gambler, a rival who he faces again; when 30 metres sixth at this track over 1609m in a CLHDC20/25 race on April 10. Can't have on that basis.
