Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $63,348

HOT DAYS AHEAD (2) is a five-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent outing over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. DENIKOS (4) stepped out on his debut over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) three weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 8 lengths. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. SUPREMEST (3) is on debut. By Maximus Mischief and comes from the Berg Brittany Vanden stable. Bold showing expected. BURNS (7) was never really a threat on debut last start over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic), finishing 9 lengths from the winner in ninth. Deserves another chance.

Resuming after a five months break. Not seen since he finished last of 7 at Churchill Downs November 15 over 1710m, 28 len behind Project Ace carrying 54kg at $17.64. On debut third of 7 at this track July 16 over 1006m, 5 len behind Dreaming Smart with 54.5kg at $9.60. Top hope if back in good order.

At the latest run ran last of 7 at Fairgrounds on March 21 over 1207m, 17 len behind Tamino carrying 53kg at $12.70. The run before that second last in a small field at Fairgrounds Turf on February 16 over 1106m, 3 len behind Chasing Freedom with 54.5kg at $5.20. Likely to prove hard to hold out.
