Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
RASPBERRY (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf, beaten 12 lengths. Strips fitter and can take care of this field. ACOSTAMBO (5) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. CLICK HERE (4) is returning from a spell of ten weeks. Finished fourth at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) over 1609m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Cipriano Contreras. Among the better hopes while fresh. JENDINI (1) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic), finishing third and beaten 4 lengths. Has ability and worth including.

Most recently 7th of 10 at Tampa Bay Downs on April 15 over 1207m, 19 len behind People Watching carrying 54kg at $11.10. The run before that 4th of 9 at Tampa Bay Downs on March 7 over 1207m, 12 len behind Chatelot carrying 54kg at $74.50. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Second run back. Comes off a 46-day let-up. First-up after four months got back early 9th of 12 at Fairgrounds Turf on March 21 over 1609m, 12 len behind Good Family with 54.5kg at $5. Previously second-up 2nd of 11 at Churchill Downs on October 31 over 1408m, 5 len behind Paige Turner carrying 54kg at $5.01. Worth another chance.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when second last of 11 at Ellis Park on August 3 2024 over 1207m, 11 len behind Empirical Mischief with 54kg at $11.06. Solid top-three proposition.
