Hoosier Park Race 1

Race 1

Stake: $14,165

MAN UP MIKI (2) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 45 metres into eighth at this track over 1609m. From this far better draw can take this out. WHATITISYO (4) scored a decisive win last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by 18 metres in an emphatic display. Big chance in a similar race. BIG ROOSTER (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 7 metres at this track over 1609m. FIRE WILL REIGN (8) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth when resuming over 1609m at this track on July 8. Something for the Multiples: MIDNIGHT PRO (1)

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Ilikeitlikethat at this track over 1609m in a HGCLCDNW2 on May 20 at $4. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Great Pretender at this track over 1609m in a HGNW2/15CL on July 3 at $2.80. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Last start 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 19 m by The Confession (1:54.10) in WO1-4/20CL on July 8 at $20.10. Two runs back 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at Springfield, well beaten by Fox Valley Silent (1:55.40) in NW25KLT on October 31. Capable of a lot more second-up.
