Hoosier Park Race 10

Race 10

Stake: $26,667

PLAY ACTION PASS (5) disappointed backers last time out when fifth, beaten 11 metres, over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that was far better, including a win over 1609m at this track two starts ago. The recent run not a true indication. Good enough to take out a race like this. WESTERN ERA (4) registered a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at Oak Grove Racing. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CROOKED SMILE (7) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. SURE THING HERMAN (2) could only finish sixth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.
