Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight
HEWSON (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis after being prominent at the bend. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. GOTCHA (4) closed last prep ten weeks ago when he finished eighth over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf. Expecting a bold showing. LIGHT CAV (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Turfway Park, beaten 12 lengths into sixth. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. Something for the Multiples: TAZZY (5)
