Hoosier Park Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $23,222

TELLMEITMATTERS (8) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. TELLMEABOUTIT (5) finished third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can give this a mighty shake. LEAVE IT TO LEO (4) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fifth at this track over 1609m. ARDENS ACE N (1) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Bourbon County at Oak Grove Racing over 1609m in a W5-10PM on July 15 at $8.68. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Play Action Pass at this track over 1609m in a NW7500L4 on July 24 at $4.30. Perfectly placed to win.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Rip Wheeler at this track over 1609m in a NW7500L4 on July 17 at $4.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Sanday at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 3 on July 24 at $5.60. Plenty to like about his prospects.
