Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 9 - Maiden S. Stakes
DELIGHTFUL D (5) Was quite a handful for the competition when 3rd last start at this track. Will be positive in the run early. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. CELTIC CARTEL (3) Finished hard to win last run around here. Won't be far away during the run. Very competitive this preparation. Winning hope. MR BIRD MAN (4) Ran on hard when winning last start at the track. Has to be strongly considered. ATTEMPTING (2) Ran on hard when winning last time at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. Should come to hand quickly. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value .
