Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
VOLATILE STORM (3) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Gulfstream Park (Turf) over 1710m, beaten half a length. Nice alley and is sure to run well. BATTER UP (8) is still a maiden after 11 starts. Could only manage to finish sixth last time out over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) following a minor placing at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1609m the run prior. Likely to be about the money. DIVER (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fourth in a 1609m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise. SKIBIDI RIZZ (6) produced another moderate effort last start when 10 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1609m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect. Something for the Multiples: MAN OF QUALITY (2)
