Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight
RATHER DISTINCT (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2112m at Kentucky, beaten 6 lengths. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. EL ZAIN (13) finished second at Churchill Downs two runs back but was less effective last time over 1811m at Keeneland (Turf), finishing 17 lengths back in tenth. Won't find this as tough so she is set to turn things around. SENSING FLATTER (15) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after she got a long way back in the run. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. STRONG DESTINY (4) was beaten 6 lengths into fifth in a 1710m contest at Churchill Downs last time out. No surprise to see her in the mix.
