Hoosier Park Race 3

Race 3

Stake: $20,833

PEPPERMINT MAN (2) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last six starts including a third most recently at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Recent efforts are good enough to put him right in the finish. BACKSTREET GAMBLER (6) scored at this track three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when fifth over 1609m at this track, beaten 23 metres. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. BLUEBIRD ZANTRAX (1) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at this track. COWBOY COOL (4) could only finish sixth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.
