Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
SPEIGHTER WOMAN (7) is yet to break through in six runs. Finished sixth at her last appearance over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt) on July 26. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. STAR WATCH (3) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1207m at Belterra Park (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Goes up a rung or two but she is capable of running a bold race. JOYOUS SONG (2) finished out of the money two starts back then she was always well out of her ground and was beaten 36 lengths when ninth over 1609m at Ellis Park three weeks ago. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is a major player. SCHOOL SPIRIT (6) debuted five-and-a-half weeks ago when she finished sixth over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt), beaten 12 lengths. Can improve sharply.
