Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
THOUSANDS OF HOPES (6) finished third, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. BASIL (8) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. FOREVER HOPE (10) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.75 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. MOVIN OUT (12) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has ability and worth including.

Second-up. First start 10th of 12 at this track on October 28 over 1106m, 20 len behind Tail Gunner carrying 54.5kg at $38.10. Went for a break before returning ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on April 22 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind Rosso Fuoco carrying 55.5kg at $10.70. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
