Hoosier Park Race 5 - Race 5
RIGHTEOUS DUDE (7) finished third at Miami Valley Raceway two runs ago before finishing fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway, beaten 21 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Has the ability to find the winners' list. ALWAYS A FIREBALL (8) finished seventh last start, beaten 25 metres at this track over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expecting a very good run. PETE'S HOUSE (4) is a consistent performer with three top-three finishes on the trot. Only needs things to fall his way and the good recent form can convert to a well-deserved win. FOX VALLEY ENDZONE (3) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight.

Resuming after a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when seventh unwanted in the market behind Heard Da Word. This looks too tough.
