Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
BROWN SUGAR (9) Ran home into 3rd last start at Gulfstream Park and solid career start. Recent form of Brad H Cox is strong. Winning hope. WRITTENINTHESAND (1) Constitution 3yo having first start for trainer William Walden and drawn well. Keep your eye on the market. YES MARIA (11) Debutant 3yo by Night Of Thunder for Cherie Devaux. Betting is the best guide. FASCINATOR (13) Just average when 5th last start at Keeneland. Deserves consideration. Something for the Multiples: ARGENTINIDAD (8) NIXON'S TIME (7) THEATRIX (2)
