Hoosier Park Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $14,403

WESTERN ERA (7) ran fifth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 12 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating. PREMIER ROMEO (5) is a strong fresh performer back after a spell of nine weeks. Opened the last campaign with a solid win over 1609m at this track. Sure to prove tough to beat under these circumstances. PLAY ME ROCK (2) disappointed last time when tenth over 1609m at this track. Can turn things around. THIS KIT ROCKS (3) could only finish sixth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.
