Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Special Weight
MERIT BADGE (10) will find this a little easier than his third on debut four weeks ago, beaten 4 lengths at the end of 1106m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he should be in the finish again. UNCLE WITH MONEY (11) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 905m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). No surprise if he was able to get off the mark. AMAZING MAX (9) is facing the starter for the first time. By Maximum Security and hails from the B H Cox stable. Expected to feature. BEACH VIBE (5) was never really a threat on debut last start over 1106m at Ellis Park (Dirt), finishing 9 lengths from the winner in fourth. Could sneak into the finish with some natural improvement likely.
