Hoosier Park Race 8 - Race 8
PONDA JIGGY (6) Career debut 2yo by Temporal Hanover for trainer Melanie Wrenn. Watch the market. JUDY'S LEGACY (8) Just short of the win last time at this track and putting a tidy record together so far. Displays good tactical speed. In strong racing shape this preparation. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. ICAN HARDLY WAIT (4) Ran on hard when winning last run at this venue and fitter for debut run. Driver Kevin Lambright and trainer Daryl J Bontrager should be taken seriously together. Will be there at the finish. AMEELIO (5) Narrowly beaten last time here and having second career run. Underrated.

At $7.00 came in 7th last time here but gets the perfect draw. Might be ridden for luck. Will struggle against these.

Started $10.00 and finished 8th last start at this venue. Driver Trace Tetrick and trainer Ricky Macomber Jr link up well. Some hope in this event.

Jumped at $11.00 and was agonizingly close last start here and was a debutant last start. Very slim hope.

Was eating up the ground late to win last run at this venue and having second career run. Solid prospects.

Just shy of the win last time here and having second race start. Significant value and can go close.

Just missed last time at this venue and promising career start. Should race on the speed. In fine form since resuming from a spell. Strong chance to be considered.
