Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Special Weight
FINAL THOUGHTS (3) Brad H Cox 3yo by Maximum Security having first race start. Cruz Fernando De La adds value. Betting is the best guide. CROMWELL (2) First up from a break of 9 weeks and good performance to run into 2nd first up last preparation at Fair Grounds. Gets a favourable gate. Winning hope. HEWSON (4) Didn't attack the line when 4th last time at the track. Looking past the last run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Each way chance at best in this. RAPID ASCENT (6) Below par when 4th last time at Churchill Downs but having second career run. Jockey Emmanuel Esquivel and trainer William D Cowans make an imposing pair. Worth a ticket.

Jumped at $4.33 and passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last time at Belterra Park and gets the perfect gate. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Prefer a race with softer competition.

Maximum Security 3yo having first start for trainer Brad H Cox. Cruz Fernando De La rates highly steering. Watch betting.

Jumped at $8.00 and lost ground in the run home when 4th last time at the track. Looking past the last run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Could feature prominently.

Racing fresh after a break. Was $6.50 and disappointing display when 8th last time at Fair Grounds. Likely to get back. Looking at others.

Was $8.50 and mediocre attempt when 4th last time at Churchill Downs but was a debutant last start. Emmanuel Esquivel and William D Cowans are usually a competitive duo. Keep safe for trifectas.

Odds of $36.00 and well beaten when 6th last time around here but returning to a longer distance. Likely to settle back in the field. Pass at this stage.

Was $5.00 and came in 5th last time at this track but fitter for debut run. Stepping up in trip. Will need to elevate.
