Hoosier Park Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $97,222

THE REASON (5) was without a win before finding his best last start to score by 6 metres over 1609m at Pocono Downs four days ago. Taking on a better line-up this time but he good enough to play a major role. KEY TO SURVIVAL (3) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 25 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. LIONS TALE (2) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 0.6 metres at The Meadows over 1609m. WHATSA MIUMIU (7) broke through last time out over 1609m at this track. Must be included with the confidence up.
