Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
INSTANT REPLAY (4) last appeared when successful by a nose over 1811m in stakes class at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) nine months ago, the only time he went to the races last prep. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. BOURBON SOCIETY (5) finished ninth over 1609m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) last time out following a determined win two back. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give a great sight. SPEED BIAS (6) was beaten just 0.1 lengths last start when second in a small field over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Settles back early but winds up late. One to consider. ARCHIE THE GIZA (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on May 2 when beaten 6 lengths into fifth at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1609m. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
