Hoosier Park Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $30,000

BUZZSAW RUSS (6) was 12 metres away in third at this track over 1609m last start at his first run back from a spell. Has the class to take this out. NOBLESVILLE (5) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 14 metres. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. GOLDEN BAY (3) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. A COOL MOMENT (4) must be respected after scoring last start by 9 metres at this track over 1609m.
