Hoosier Park Race 8 - Race 8

M M S BUD (7) made it two in a row last start when he got the cash by 7 metres over 1609m at this track. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. LITTLE ROCKET MAN (5) showed plenty of fight to score last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.6 metres. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. GOLDEN BAY N (6) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at this track over 1609m. COMBUSTION (4) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 14 m by M M S Bud (1:49.30) in OPEN on June 26 at $4.60. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2.25 m (Fr4) at this track (1:50.40) beating Oakwood Ardan in OPEN 2 HDC on June 19 at $8.30. Right in contention.
