Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
LATIGO (7) ran an improved race second up last start to finish in the placings over 1207m at Listed level at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.5 lengths. The third-up record is strong so he looks very hard to beat. RED STATE (2) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when seventh over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) after he was prominent at the turn. Should be peaking now and can turn things around. DAWN AT NORMANDY (1) displayed plenty of early toe over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to score by 4 lengths. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. INVICTUS (4) flew the gates and led throughout to score by 0.3 lengths last start over today's journey at this track (Dirt). Should figure in the finish.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 6th of 10 at this track in LR on April 7 over 1106m, 8 len behind Sleepy carrying 57kg at $3.80. Second run from a spell ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track in LR on May 13 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Zolo with 57kg at $6.30. Can improve. Top chance if at his best.
