Hoosier Park Race 6

Race 6

Stake: $36,330

LITTLE ROCKET MAN (5) scored two runs back then recorded a comfortable victory last start, scoring by 9 metres over 1609m at this track. His last-start form is good enough to put him right in the finish. COACH STEFANOS (4) finished second last start over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 0.9 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at Meadowlands. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. BUZZSAW RUSS (3) ended last prep with a ninth at Miami Valley Raceway over 1609m 12 weeks ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort. GOLDEN BAY (2) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.
