Hoosier Park Race 6 - Race 6
R BUDDY BOY (6) won at Hawthorne two runs ago before finishing seventh at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 metres. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CAPTAINS EXPRESS (3) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 21 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. JK MCFLIRT (5) deserves consideration after his last-start fourth when resuming over 1609m at this track three weeks ago. TOPVILLE GRANDSHOW (7) could only manage eighth when resuming over 1609m at this track last start. Can do better.

Comes here second-up after three weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 45 m by Dating A Virgin (1:55.30) in HGCDCNW1/2 on February 19 at $33.70. Needs to do more. Others better.

Didn't do much last time out, 8th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, well beaten by Dating A Virgin (1:55.30) in HGCDCNW1/2 on February 19 at $88.60. Before that 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 40 m by Eleanor's Knight (1:56.40) in HGCLCNW1/2 on February 12 at $59.40. Would be better placed in something easier.
