Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
INSTANT REPLAY (2) is back from a spell of nine months. Scored a good win at his only run last preparation in Listed grade at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) over 1811m. Capable of playing a major role. FRIAR NEWTON (6) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by 1.3 lengths over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Has a strong record at this course, scoring four times from seven starts. Will prove tough to beat. SPEED BIAS (1) was prominent at the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1710m at Oaklawn Park after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Won't find this as tough so he is all set to build on that latest effort. BEDARD (3) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), beaten half a length. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
