Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
SHANE FALCO (4) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at Turfway Park but disappointed last time when ninth, beaten 9 lengths, at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 1609m. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. DROGON (7) was in commission last time out but after being in the firing line on the corner disappointed in finishing fourth over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic), beaten 6 lengths. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. PURDY DARN GOOD (1) last appeared when he finished fourth over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) on February 7. Comes here with definite top-three claims. DYNAMIC VICTORY (5) finished 8 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) on March 2. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.
