Hoosier Park Race 12 - Race 12
PONDA CRYSTAL (6) Looked outclassed when 7th last time here. Can show a better performance this time. Won't be far away during the run. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. PRINCESS DRAVEN (5) Missed by a narrow margin last run at this venue and promising career start. Jay Cross and Timothy Smith command respect as a team. Displays good tactical speed. Winning hope. ALYVIA'S GIRL (2) 2yo by Helpisontheway on debut for Ernest Gaskin. Keep your eye on the market. LADY NESSA (7) Came in 9th last run around here. Has to be included.

Jumped at $18.00 and finished 8th last time at this track but fitter for debut run. Likely to settle back in the field. Appears tested in this event.

Close to claiming the win last run at the track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Jay Cross and Timothy Smith are a strong duo. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Started at $2.88 and didn't threaten when 7th last time here. Can show a better performance this time. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Major chance.
