Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 3

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $66,544

SHALLUS (3) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 4.5 lengths away in third at this track (Dirt). Taking on a better field but he is good enough to take this out. HOMER'S ODYSSEY (4) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start when he did his best work late but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. ARTHUR JR (2) is a six-start maiden who has been in the money two times, Could only manage fifth last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has a sound record here with two top-three finishes from three starts. Sure to be about the mark. RIDDLER (1) stepped out for his debut over 1106m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) back on September 26 and finished sixth, beaten 7 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature.
