Hoosier Park Race 11 - Race 11
APRIL'S BIG GUY (6) is back today after a layoff of 11 weeks. Closed the last prep in great style with a win by 18 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to be ready to run well. SKYWAY GOLIATH (3) ran third last start at Hawthorne over 1609m, beaten 4.5 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. KOA (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at Northfield Park last time out. COPPER TEEN (4) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at Hawthorne eight weeks ago.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1609m at Hawthorne, beaten 4.5 m by Acoustic (1:55.10) in NW1001-4 on December 20 at $20.30. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
