Hoosier Park Race 5 - Race 5

COMBUSTION (7) finished fifth last start, beaten 19 metres at this track over 1609m. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. TELLMEITMATTERS (3) produced a strong effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 5 metres from the winner in third, continuing his strong recent efforts. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Taking on a better line-up this time but he good enough to play a major role. SHOOTING IN PLACE (6) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. FLY HIGH CRUISER (4) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Last start 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 12 m by Martins Millions (1:51.20) in OPEN II on September 19 at $16.30. Two runs back won by 3 m (Fr3) at Scioto Downs (1:50.10) beating Joelsyy Hanover in HGNW8001L4 on September 5 at $6.20. Unlikely to threaten.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following September 12 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.8 m (Fr3) at this track (1:50.20) beating Sure Thing Herman in NW3000L4 on September 18 at $4.90. This race will be harder than that win. Needs to step up.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m fourth behind Tellmeaboutit at this track over 1609m OPEN 2-3 last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres fourth again at this track in OPEN 3 on September 11. Racing well and worth each-way consideration.

Eight-year-old gelding been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Good effort last outing 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at The Red Mile beaten 1.5 m by Strangerinthenight (1:51.00) in NW7000L4 on September 13 at $1.76. Can't recommend him in this.

Solid run when a close second behind M M S Bud at this track over 1609m in a ISSAGEDCGP on September 11 at $21.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Tellmeaboutit at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 2-3 on September 18 at $3.80. Capable of a strong showing.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 19 m by Coach Stefanos (1:48.20) in OPEN on September 18 at $12.40. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:49.20) beating Crooked Smile in OPEN 2 on September 4 at $2.50. Strong winning prospects.
