Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
NO SELF CONTROL (2) returned from a spell five-and-a-half weeks ago when she was in contention on the bend before being beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth over 1006m at Sam Houston Park Turf. Fitter so expect a better run this time. JORDANS DEAL (5) is back after a break of six months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at this track over 1106m. Ready to find winning form. MAXIMUM SPIRIT (4) is back from a spell of six months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Sure to make her presence felt. WELL HEY THERE (3) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Robert M Gorham. By Runhappy from Well Hello. Worth watching for a betting push.

Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after three months second last of 10 at Turfway Park on March 11 over 1207m, 15 len behind Jittier Girl with 54.5kg at $65.27. Previously second-up ran last of 10 at Turfway Park on December 27 over 1308m, 29 len behind Shore War with 55.5kg at $80.86. Unlikely to threaten.
