Hoosier Park Race 8 - Race 8

OPERATOR (4) finished seventh last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Won't find this any harder and he can find winning ways. STARLITFRANKNSTEIN (5) finished fifth last time out, beaten 7 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat once more. NIKO MAN (2) is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten 6 metres into second at this track. No reason he cannot take this out. FAMOUS FATHER (3) could only finish sixth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Calculated Concept at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 3 on June 13 at $4.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Dover In Motion at this track over 1609m in a NW7500L4 on June 20 at $6.80. Capable of taking this out.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 7 m by Ponda Jet (1:52.40) in OPEN 1-2 on July 4 at $10.30. The run previous 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 18 m by Finite (1:52.30) in OPEN 2 on June 27 at $10.30. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.
