Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
SHALLUS (6) finished second last start over 1673m at this track (Dirt) to make it 11 minor placings from 21 runs. Has a sound record here with eight top-three finishes from 10 starts. Nicely placed and expected to go very well. START TO WIN (4) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished tenth over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Ellis Park over 1609m. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. BAKER HAYFIELD (3) is a eight-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 6 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. CONTRIBUTION (7) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of B H Cox. By Constitution from Gifting. Top-three chance.
