Hoosier Park Race 12

Race 12

Stake: $21,124

PREMIER ROMEO (4) finished fifth last start, beaten 24 metres at this track over 1609m. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat. BOOK THE FIGHT (6) produced yet another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. AVANTI (1) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can turn things around. RIDIN THE SEASIDE (8) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
