Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Claiming
DROGON (7) sets the standard after a 2nd here over 1609m last start, having also run 3rd and 4th at Turfway over the mile prior. NEHALEM (8) is a key chance with three 3rds at 1609m this year, including behind Drogon here on 22 Apr. STAR SAVER (5) interests on the rise after a debut 3rd at Mahoning Valley over 1207m and should be fitter up to the mile. RUN DAVID RUN (3) has a recent 3rd at Turfway over 1609m and can figure again.
