Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
ZAPPING STRIKE (8) started at $9.27 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 15 lengths at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1106m. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. OH PLEASE (9) improved last start to finish third over 1609m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. ARTHUR JR (4) was in the money two starts back at this track then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has a strong finish. Shapes well and is among the main hopes. MCMUSIC (3) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 6 lengths away in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well placed to figure prominently again.
