Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
STRAITSHOOTINLARRY (1) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing fifth over 1710m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) 46 days ago. Key runner on his best efforts. CHONDRITE (3) is a three-year-old colt by Curlin out of Starfront set to debut for the B H Cox stable. Should acquit himself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. ASTOUND (8) wasn't far off maiden success before a ten weeks break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Can pick up where he left off. Among the chances while fresh. PAYTON'S HAMMER (5) missed the placings on debut two runs back then got a long way back last start when 26 lengths away in seventh over 1308m at Keeneland. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he will be hard to beat.
