Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Ellen's Lucky Star H. Stakes
SPIRITED JUSTICE (1) is a talented filly who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1207m in stakes class at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Luis Contreras who has four wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. LADY CHAOS (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 0.8 lengths away in third over 1207m in stakes class at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Will take advantage of the good draw. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. GRAND HARBOR (7) scored last start at Listed level at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be competitive. SMOKINGHOT JUSTICE (11) was safely held when resuming from a spell last start, finishing 7 lengths back in fourth over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Gets to a turf track for the first time today. Should camp just off the leaders. Must be respected.
