Hoosier Park Race 9 - Race 9
ILIKE WHISKERS (8) finished eighth last start, beaten 45 metres at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Has the ability to take this out. ARTISTIC PHOTO (4) resumes here after closing her last campaign with a fifth at this track on August 26. Expecting a very good run. TALKFLIRTYTOME (7) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1609m at The Meadows two weeks ago. HOLEINTHEBOTTLE (9) is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her score over 1609m at Northfield Park.

Showed a glimmer of form last start 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at Hawthorne, beaten 16 m by Jewel's Legend (1:58.20) in FMNW1CD on December 26 at $38. But The start before was well beaten into fifth behind Gershwin at Hawthorne over 1609m in a FMNW1CD on December 20 at $6.20. A win is unlikely.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 12 m as favourite (Fr5) at Hawthorne (2:01.40) beating Centerfold in FMNW1CD on December 13 at $3.20. One of the better chances.

Last start 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at The Meadows, beaten 14 m by Elsa D (1:59.00) in FMNW1EXTPM on January 29 at $4.60. Before that, a good run when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m at The Meadows, beaten 4.5 m by Trumps Lawyer (1:57.40) in FMNW1EXTPM on January 15 at $3.60. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr1) over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 65 m by Phantomofthenight (1:59.00) in NW1PMCD on February 1 at $6.20. Showed ability the race before when she won by 4.5 m as favourite (Fr1) at Northfield Park (2:01.30) beating Gary in NW1PMCD on January 28 at $2.20. Capable of more than she has shown recently.
