Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Claiming
VELVETEEN (3) is a six-start maiden who almost broke the ice last time out when a close second over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) after being prominent at the turn. Going up a level this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. EARL'S LADY (6) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage sixth last start, beaten 10 lengths over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Backmarker who keeps coming. Great chance to bounce back. LONG TAIL SALLY (9) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Worth including in this suitable contest. PICKLE SHOES (5) finished 9 lengths from the winner in fourth after being in the firing line on the bend at her most recent appearance over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). This looks a nice race so expect her to finish closer.
