Hoosier Park Race 2 - Race 2
LIONS TALE (2) Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last start at The Meadows and strong performer at this trip in the past. Should be going forward early. Won't be far away. THE REASON (5) On a quick back up. Ran home strongly to win last start at Pocono Downs. Driver Yannick Gingras and trainer Ronald J Burke have a high strike rate together. Expect to go close. KEY TO SURVIVAL (3) Came in 6th last run at Scioto Downs but promising career start. Going well this campaign. Serious player. WHATSA MIUMIU (7) Controlled the pace to win by 1.5m last start around here. Will be motoring home late. One of the hopes.

Odds of $53.00 and crept into 5th last start here and will appreciate a good alley. Likely to get back in the run. Very difficult to back.

Secured a close victory last start at The Meadows and have to respect the form at the trip. Has early speed and positions nicely. Putting a tidy record together. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Backing up quickly for this race. Rounded them up to win last start at Pocono Downs. Yannick Gingras consistently performs well for this stable. Should give this a shake.
