Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
RUN KIKI RUN (6) 2yo by Essential Quality having first race appearance for trainer Brad H Cox. Cruz Fernando De La is a suitable booking. Watch for a sign in the market. CONGA (4) Brad H Cox 2yo runner on debut by Nyquist. Jockey Jr Marcelino Pedroza is highly regarded. Watch the market. DAMA DIAMANTE (3) Finished with intent when 3rd last time at this venue and honest performer putting a tidy record together. First start for a new trainer and racing over extra ground. Has to be strongly considered. FIRST LADYBUG (5) Didn't threaten when 9th last run at the track. Worth entertaining from a place and exotics perspective.

Odds of $6.50 and picked up some ground to run 4th last run here and was a debutant last start. Yomar Ortiz Jr takes a large claim. A difficult test here.

Started at $7.00 and finished 4th last run at Churchill Downs but having second race start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Have to respect the recent William Walden form. Place claims at best.
