Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight
HEWSON (9) sets the standard after a close 2nd at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1609m on 21 Apr, beaten 0.5L after racing on speed. TAZZY (5) maps as a key danger with proven local form, including 2nd here at 1609m last October and a solid 4th over 1207m on 14 Apr. GOTCHA (4) has been competitive at this trip, notably 5th at Churchill Downs over 1609m, beaten 3.3L, and draws better. LIGHT CAV (7) can be prominent early off two recent 1609m runs at Turfway Park where he sat handy before fading.

Three-year-old colt by Coal Front making his first start. Draws barrier 1 with Carlos Erieltun Franca riding for Judy Woodbury at 55.5kg. Limited exposed data, so the rail draw is the key setup. Can feature with a clean break from the inside.

Comes off a 20-day break after a much-improved 2nd at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1609m on 21 Apr, beaten 0.5L in a Maiden Special Weight with 55.5kg on FT, having sat handy and briefly led; winner was Astound. Prior Turfway runs were 8th over 1609m and 1207m at big odds. Three-start maiden but has a track 2nd from one try and holds that trip well. Can feature with a repeat of the latest effort.
