Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Special Weight
DELIGHTFULLY (9) Displayed good finishing speed when 2nd beaten by 8L last run at this track. Cruz Fernando De La is in good form for this stable. Can have an impact. AL GHADEER (6) Lost ground in the run home when 10th last time at Churchill Downs but good career start. Strong chance. REACHINGFORTHEMOON (1) Weakened under pressure when 6th last time at this track but gets a favourable alley. Goes very close. CONTRARY MARY (5) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time around here and racing over a longer distance. Has plenty of early speed. Looks set to run a place.

Started at $5.00 and weakened to finish 6th last time at this venue but drawn well. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Finished strongly when 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at this track. Racing for a new trainer. Has very good closing speed. Large claim helps. Can run into the placings.

Came in 3rd last time at the track and rising in trip. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Represents value at a price.

Was $9.00 and looked outclassed when 10th last time at Churchill Downs but solid career start. One of the value chances in this race.

Good effort to run 2nd last run around here. Cruz Fernando De La and Brad H Cox command respect as a pairing. Tough competitor.

First run back from a break. Jumped at $12.00 and was making up some late ground when 5th last time at Oaklawn Park and was a debutant last start. Unlikely to feature.
