Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8

Mdn Special Weight

Prize Money: $60,697

LIGHT CAV (10) made significant late ground last start to get up for second over 1609m at this track (Turf). Sure to prove tough to beat. TERRE HAUTE (11) continues to race well this time in work, the latest effort a solid third over 1609m at this track. Cherry-ripe now so he will be tough to beat. VACATIONER (8) has not raced since his debut on January 29 over 1710m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) when he finished fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature. LAST MOMENT (6) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Steven Asmussen. By Tapit from Dothraki Sea. Worth watching for a betting push.

Returns from a 52-day let-up. At the latest run 7th of 10 at Keeneland on April 11 over 1408m, 7 len behind Dispersion with 51.5kg at $17.49. Before that ran last in a small field at Turfway Park on March 19 over 1609m, 22 len behind Blythes Ferry with 54.5kg at $2.01. Can do a lot better than that last run.
