Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
JR BARTHOLOMEW (8) sets the standard after a debut 2nd here over 1207m, coming from last and holding a clear margin on the rest. KISS THE RING (2) has race fitness with two Laurel Park runs at 1106m, including 4th of 5 last start, and adds blinkers. STUNNING (7) wasn’t far from the speed on debut in a Keeneland MSW over 1207m before fading, and can improve. CREATURE (6) drops back from a Keeneland Maiden Claiming where he was 6th of 6 and now adds blinkers. Several newcomers add depth, but the proven local effort from Jr Bartholomew (8) is the key form.
