Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 9 - John Deere Juvenile Challenge Final S. Stakes
APOLLITICAL FAST (6) is racing well. Scored at this track (Dirt) two back then finished third, beaten 0.6 lengths, over 320m at Listed level at this track (Dirt) at the latest appearance six-and-a-half weeks ago. Should park just off the speed. Leading contender. TEMPTSTEPPER Z (8) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 229m at Sandy Ridge, beaten only a nose after being in the firing line on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CYBER AFFAIR (4) finished fourth last time out over 320m at this track, beaten 0.9 lengths. Worth plenty of thought. BP JET LINER (3) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 229m at Sandy Ridge, beaten 0.9 lengths into fourth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
