Hoosier Park Race 8 - Race 8

HANDSOME CHARACTER (4) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 23 metres. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. MARTZ JAK (8) finished third last start, beaten 19 metres at this track over 1609m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. SPECIAL PETE (6) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. DONTSPANKCHECKY (5) ended last prep with a fifth at Hawthorne over 1609m ten weeks ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Star Man at Hawthorne over 1609m in a NW2CD on December 21 at $2.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Peace Star at Hawthorne over 1609m in a W2-NW615CL on December 27 at $2.70. Leading contender and the inside draw helps.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 40 m by Six Sticks Of Gum (1:52.20) in HGCDCNW4/6 on February 19 at $53.20. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 4 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:56.40) beating Seneca Park in HGCLCNW1/2 on February 12 at $1.20. Worth consideration.
