Hoosier Park Race 2

Race 2

Stake: $20,279

DEVIOUS MOJITO AS (2) finished third last time out, beaten 9 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the ability to take this out. PONDA AESTHETIC (5) ran second last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 14 metres. Expecting a very good run. SMOOTH TALKIN (4) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at Scioto Downs over 1609m. Must be included. BLINDING LIGHTS AS (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 5 metres at this track over 1609m.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following August 12 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.6 m (Fr9) at this track (1:54.40) beating American Fashion in NW1250L4 on August 19 at $9.20. This race will be harder than that win.
