Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
LOWER BROADWAY (9) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into sixth over 1207m at Kentucky. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. ZAPPING STRIKE (4) is yet to break through but has been in the money six times including last start when second over 1006m at this track (Turf). Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on two occasions. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. COUNTTHECARATS (2) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 1006m at this track (Turf) when he was always up in the leading division. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. BOTE (7) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1106m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Solid top-three hope.
