Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance
ZOOM ZOOM AYLA (5) Ran on strongly to win last start at Thistledown. Displays good finishing speed. Key player. SCHOOL SPIRIT (4) Fresh after spell of 40 weeks. Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last run at the track and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Among better hopes. BLAZING FREEDOM (7) Resumes after a 42 week spell. Tailed off to finish 7th last run at the track. Should improve from the last run but challenged by more formidable competitors. Could be value. CLICK (3) Ran a solid race on the speed before weakening to finish 3rd beaten by 2 1/2L last run at Belterra Park but facing a stronger grade. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run here and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Jockey Cruz Fernando De La and trainer Philip A Bauer work well together. Win won't shock.

Ran over the top of them when winning last start at Thistledown. Should be swooping on the field late. Capable of winning this.

Back from a break of 42 weeks. Started at $8.50 and faded away to finish 7th last run here. Should improve from the last run but matched against tougher rivals. Strong claims.
