Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
SHARONS BEACH (8) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten half a length into second over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is perfectly placed to score. TOM CAT TUESDAY (6) is fitter for two runs back from a spell and has been in the placings at both appearances, the latest when third over 1509m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Solid prospects. KING GERALD (4) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing sixth over 1207m at this track last start. Expected to improve sharply. STUNNING (3) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1207m contest at this track last time out by one length. Winning claims on best figures.

Resuming after a 11 months break. Not seen since he finished last in a small field at Ellis Park in the LR August 10 over 1408m, 15 len behind Comport carrying 54.5kg at $42.36. At his first start won by 0.5 len Churchill Downs May 9 2025 over 1006m defeating Fistfulofmoney carrying 54kg at $19.63. Looks up against it.
