Hoosier Park Race 2

Race 2

Stake: $16,796

SABA ROCK (8) had to dig deep to salute last start over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 1.5 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. ODDS ON BRAHMASTRA (3) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Leading hope based on recent form. DONCIC (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 12 metres at The Meadows over 1609m. SIERRA SHOOTER (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m.
