Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
HOSS N BOSS (2) First up after a break of 27 weeks. Couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last time at Oaklawn Park. May see an upturn in form and gets a favourable draw. Must be considered. SHUGGY (5) Resuming after a spell of 26 weeks. Moderate showing when 6th last start at Fair Grounds. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . REDACTOR (4) 3yo by Tapit on debut for trainer Brad H Cox. Jr Marcelino Pedroza is a bonus. Watch early betting. OLIVETTI (8) Faded away to finish 8th last start at Churchill Downs. Should improve from the last run. Can feature.

Odds of $16.00 and kept chasing when 4th last run here and fitter for debut run. Has drawn to do little work. Has some claims.

Back from a spell of 27 weeks. Odds of $16.00 and didn't find the line when 8th last time at Oaklawn Park. May see an upturn in form. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

First up after a break. Jumped at $43.00 and was found wanting late when 5th last run here. Has shown early pace in races to date. Very unlikely.

3yo by Tapit on debut for trainer Brad H Cox. Jr Marcelino Pedroza is an advantage. Watch betting.

Racing fresh after a break of 26 weeks. At $5.00 was ordinary when 6th last start at Fair Grounds. Can go close.

Resuming after a break. Started at $6.50 and lacklustre showing when 9th last run at Fair Grounds but having second career run. Would not recommend.

Started $14.00 and didn't threaten when 8th last start at Churchill Downs. Should improve from the last run. One of the punters top hopes.

Jumped at $23.00 and faded to finish 10th last time at Churchill Downs but was on debut last time. Yedsit Hazlewood is a key booking. Can't recommend.
