Hoosier Park Race 11

Race 11

Prize Money: $30,683

M M S BUD (5) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. GOLDEN BAY N (6) made it three wins in succession when he scored by 9 metres last time out here at this trip. His recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. COACH STEFANOS (3) finished third last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. CROOKED SMILE (4) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this track over 1609m.

Fair performance when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Golden Bay at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on May 29 at $4.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Golden Bay at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on June 5 at $3.90. Sure to play a major role.
