Hoosier Park Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $41,644

BATTLE HILL (4) finished eighth last start over 1609m at Dayton Raceway, beaten 85 metres, after a strong win at Scioto Downs the run prior. Has the ability to take this out. SIESTA SANDMAN (1) was out of the money last start when 30 metres from the winner in sixth over 1609m at this track. Best form reference might be his win at this track three starts back. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. HEY PORTER (2) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track a week ago. ELAN HANOVER (3) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.
