Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 3

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $65,444

SERGEANT CAPPS (7) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished eighth at his last appearance over 1106m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on June 22 after he gave away a big start. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. ROYALIST (2) stepped out on his debut over 1006m at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 6 lengths. Capable of sharp improvement. VEHEMENTLY (3) didn't do a lot on debut four weeks ago, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Will take a lot from that experience. Top-three chance. CUPID'S THUNDER (1) was out of the money first-up but has progressed nicely since, last start finishing third at this track (Dirt) over 1006m after he did his best work late. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp.
