Hoosier Park Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $23,328

ALWAYS A LASER (8) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Leading hope based on recent form. ROCKMELIKEYAMEANIT (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. KING JAMES EXPRESS (6) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track a week ago. MUSTANG BEACH (3) is next best following a run of three top-three finishes, the latest at this track a week ago.
