Hoosier Park Race 5

Race 5

Prize Money: $27,994

GORGEOUS BIG GUY (6) turned in an out-of-character effort last start when 11 metres away in sixth over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. Has the talent to return to something like his best. LOW RIDER (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 8 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Has the talent to take care of this field. ALTA REVELRY (5) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m. THIS KIT ROCKS (4) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago.
