Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
BRIGHTWATER (2) Improbable 2yo having first race appearance for Jonathan Thomas and can find a nice position from the draw. Watch the market moves. YALINA (10) Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 3rd beaten by 4 1/4L last start here and showing consistent performance in races. Looks to be value. CANDY NOVEL (3) 2yo by Twirling Candy on debut for trainer Thomas Molloy. Watch betting. HELLO HONEY (8) Close up last start at Belterra Park and having second career run. Has the ability to take this out.

At $18.00 struggled with the pace when 9th last run at Ellis Park but drawn the rails. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Rough hope.

Displayed good finishing speed when 3rd beaten by 3 1/2L last run at this venue and fitter for debut run. Esteban Gordillo has been training plenty of winners recently. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Outgunned at the finish when 3rd beaten by 4 1/4L last start at the track and promising career start. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Has a good chance.

At $36.00 faded away to finish 8th last run at Ellis Park and back to a shorter trip. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Needs a lot of luck.
