Hoosier Park Race 9 - Race 9
PONDA AVENUE (5) Tailed off to finish 6th last time at this venue. Should improve from the last run. Should muster plenty of early toe. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. LIKE A ROCK G (2) Threw down a serious challenge last run at the track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Will be positive in the run early. Running with confidence this preparation. Can take this out. NEIGHBOR (3) 2yo first starter sired by Helpisontheway for James Eaton. Watch for a sign in the market. BLUEBIRD HEMI (4) Close to a win last start here. Trace Tetrick and Britney Dillon form a proven partnership. Worth an each way bet in this.

Managed to run into 2nd beaten by 7.75m last start at this track and will appreciate a good draw. Producing consistent results since returning from a break. Small possibility.

Was $4.00 and didn't attack the line when 6th last time here. Should improve from the last run. Should muster plenty of early speed. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Jumped at $18.00 and ran 7th last start here but having second career run. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Hard to see it being competitive today.
