Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
RED RAZE (11) showed good early speed from the inside draw last start before finishing second over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SERENA'S SURPRISE (1) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 12 lengths when eighth in a 1006m contest at Churchill Downs three weeks ago. This doesn't look as hard so she will be hard to beat. EMOJI (4) is a seven-start maiden who was close to a win before a eight months break, finishing off with a minor placing at this track (Turf). Expect she has come on over the break. Among the chances while fresh. DOWNTOWNRITABROWN (8) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1006m at Belterra Park Turf (Turf). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.

The run before that ran second last in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis on June 9 over 1710m, 73 len behind Laken carrying 55kg at $54.30. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.
