Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance
ROYAL SAPPHIRE (7) did well to score at Churchill Downs two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in contention on the turn before finishing second over 1207m at Churchill Downs, beaten 1.3 lengths. Has the class to find the winners' list. PERFECT AUDIBLE (8) is racing well. Scored at Churchill Downs (Dirt) two back then finished third, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) at the latest appearance two months ago. Keith J Asmussen stays aboard. Should be in the finish. TIZ AUTHORITY (6) showed the way from barrier rise to score by half a length last start over this course and distance. Another bold showing expected. MCFASTY (3) returned from a spell two months ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 1207m at Churchill Downs. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, came from midfield and scored a big 6 len win at this track on May 25 over 1106m defeating Cause Ima Boss with 54.5kg at $5. Second-up ran second last in a small field at this track on July 15 over 1106m, 15 len behind Conference Calling with 53.5kg at $4.20. Needs to lift substantially.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when won by 3 len at this track on May 29 2025 over 1006m defeating Dreaming Smart carrying 54kg at $1.50. Not good enough for these.

Comes here off a 34-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at Belterra Park on July 9 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Bob Mo with 54kg at $5.20. The run before that ran second last in a small field at this track on June 15 over 1609m, 2.25 len behind Seal Bay with 54.5kg at $17.90. Capable of a strong showing.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 5th of 10 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 5 over 1106m, 6 len behind Stormtown with 53.5kg at $20.34. Second run from a spell favourite; won by 0.5 len at this track on July 14 over 1207m defeating Big Boy Thunder with 55.5kg at $2.40. Has the ability to take this out.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 54-day let-up. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Churchill Downs on June 19 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind Evan On Earth carrying 52kg at $9.95. The start before that came from midfield and scored a big 6 len win at Churchill Downs on May 29 over 1408m defeating Torre Eiffel with 51.5kg at $5.59. Plenty to like about his prospects.
