Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8

Mdn Special Weight

Stake: $77,060

LAST MOMENT (1) made his debut last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at this track (Turf) over 1710m, beaten 5 lengths. Watch for a much better performance this time. SHUGGY (5) is back from a spell of six months. Closed last prep with a sixth, beaten 13 lengths, over 1710m at Fairgrounds Turf. Hard to go past. DEERFIELD (6) has not raced since his debut on March 7 over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) when he finished ninth, beaten 9 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply. OLIVETTI (8) is a two-start maiden who finished eighth, beaten 55 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
