Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Governors Juvenile S. Invitational Stakes
TEXAS SWAGGER 123 (2) Narrowly denied a win last run around here and competing in a lower grade. Has a good draw. Appears well in this. VIOLETS N DAISIES (7) Worked hard to finish 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last run at the track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Competing at a higher grade. Has the ability to take this out. HEZA CLOWN (3) Finished 4th last run here and up against a more competitive field. Right in this. PROVOCOTIV (6) Hit the line well when 4th last run at this track but up in grade. Should come to hand quickly. Don't overlook as is capable of a big run. Something for the Multiples: HAMMER DOWN CARTEL (9)

Started $14.00 and made up ground when 4th last start at the track and has drawn the rails. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Not hopeless.

Threw down a serious challenge last run around here and competing at a lower grade. Will try to take advantage of the gate. Solid prospects.

At $7.00 ran on into 4th last start at this track but stepping up to a higher level. Should be swooping on the field late. Minor claims.

Started $9.00 and pushed past some when 4th last run at the track but competing in a more challenging grade. Expecting to settle positively. Could be in the mix.

Despite being overrun still placed 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last run at the track and showing consistent performance in races. Running with confidence since returning from a break. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Finished with purpose when winning last start at this track and facing a weaker group of contenders. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. Highly unlikely to feature here.

Odds of $15.00 and gave away some ground when 5th last run around here and racing in stronger company. Looking at others.
