Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
HYPERLINK (1) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt). This is the right race and can take this out. HICKMAN CREEK (8) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Keeneland, beaten 8 lengths into fifth. Perfectly placed and is sure to open his account. BHATIA (7) is a five-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent outing over 1710m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Finds the right race and is worth consideration. PAYTON'S HAMMER (5) was prominent at the bend and finished third last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.75 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Must be respected.
