Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
ASIAN SUN (3) 3yo first starter sired by Authentic for trainer James K Chapman. Respect the betting. RED RAZE (11) Did well when 2nd last run at Churchill Downs but dropping back to a shorter trip. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign. One of the major players. SERENA'S SURPRISE (1) Gave away some ground when 8th last start at Churchill Downs. Looking past the last run and gets the perfect draw. Should muster plenty of early toe. Strong chance. EMOJI (4) Back from a spell of 36 weeks. Came on strongly to finish 3rd last run around here. Change in trainer. Has the ability to figure.

Started at $9.00 and folded up in the straight when 8th last start at Churchill Downs. Looking past the last run. Likely to be well placed early. Serious contender.

Resuming after a 36 week break. Was strong late when 3rd last run at this venue. Racing for a new trainer. Rates as one of the key chances.

Started $10.00 and only fair when 6th last start at this track but was on debut last time. Coming back in distance. Not hopeless.

First up from a 39 week break. Odds of $36.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 9th last time at Keeneland but was a debutant last start. Needs significant improvement.

Ran well when 2nd last run at Churchill Downs but back to a shorter distance. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Good chance at a nice price.
