Hoosier Park Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $22,936

ROCK SHINES AGAIN (4) produced another fine effort last start when he scored over 1609m at this track, coming in 15 metres ahead of his rivals. Finds a suitable assignment and can grab another win. DEAL THE ODDS (3) recorded another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to finish second over 1609m at this track, adding to his impressive overall record. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat as usual. THE FAMILY MAN (6) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. CLASS FACTOR (1) could only finish eighth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.
