Hoosier Park Race 8 - Race 8

M M S BUD (7) went well to finish second two starts ago then recorded an effortless win last start, scoring by 7 metres over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. This doesn't look as hard so he is set to continue his fine form. GORGEOUS BIG GUY (8) is a talented entire first up from a break of ten weeks who generally wastes no time finding form and is yet to taste defeat when resuming. Scored a fine win over 1609m at Springfield to launch his last preparation. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Will be right there at the business end. CROOKED SMILE (6) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. SANDAY A (2) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. Something for the Multiples: M-M-S BUD (7)

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Premier Romeo at this track over 1609m in a NW8000L4 on April 3 at $5.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind M M S Bud at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 2-3 on April 10 at $6.90. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Resuming after a spell of ten weeks. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into sixth behind Humble at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m in a OPEN II HC on February 8 at $2.10. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.5 m (Fr3) at Springfield (1:50.20) beating Fox Valley Durham in ILCHMP3C&G on September 11 2024. Nicely placed to take this out.
