Hoosier Park Race 12

Race 12

Prize Money: $34,215

LITTLE ROCKET MAN (8) won at this track two runs ago before finishing eighth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Northfield Park, beaten 25 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. GORGEOUS BIG GUY (7) made it three wins in a row last time out, getting home by 3 metres over 1609m at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of another big performance. LOW RIDER (6) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. NOBLESVILLE (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out.
