Hoosier Park Race 8 - Race 8
PONDA SOLVE (4) Led and controlled the pace to win by a margin of 1m last run here. Likely to be well placed early. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign. Hard to dismiss. STARBOARD (2) Close up last start at the track. Should jump out and bowl along. Has not missed the money this preparation in 2 attempts. Good chance in this event. NECTAR OF THE GODS (3) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last run around here. Should come to hand quickly. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Strong chance. KOUNTRY DION (1) Close to claiming the win last start at the track and fitter for debut run. Expected to be flashing home. Drawn the rails. Likely to fill a place.

Romped home to win last run around here. Should be going forward early. Has run into the money at every start this campaign. Definite claims for punters.
