Hoosier Park Race 9 - Race 9

LITTLE ROCKET MAN (3) produced a better effort last time out, finishing fourth over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender in this comparable race. IM SKINNYDIPIN N (5) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 10 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is drawn to advantage and is up to the challenge. OAKWOOD ARDAN (8) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway. CROOKED SMILE (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m.
