The “Blooming Bankrolls” promotion this April at 1/ST BET and Xpressbet offers a $10 bonus when you bet $100 or more at select tracks each Tuesday and Thursday. Opening day at Horseshoe Indianapolis will be the track spotlighted for this Tuesday. Here’s how I’ll approach that card with the help of the Betmix Angler database.


Horseshoe Indianapolis: Race 3

#1 Unbridled Intent (12-1 morning line odds) got blasted in 2 stakes last year but is back where she belongs, class-wise, and can be effective at this level. Adds Lasix, draws the rail and note jockey Luis Contreras was strong early in the Indy meet last year in these 5-1/2 furlong dashes, winning 4 of 14 (29%) in April-May. Trainer Robert Gotham 23% adding Lasix, 22% off long layoffs. Worth price look. Win-place bet #1.


Horseshoe Indianapolis: Race 5

#6 Appeazing (6-1 morning line odds) showed excellent speed in her career debut last September before throwing on the brakes. She returns with Lasix for trainer Aaron West, who was a sharp 7-for-14 in the exacta to open this meeting last April and can get them ready to fire fresh. Win-place bet #6. Exacta box 6-11-5.


Horseshoe Indianapolis: Race 9

#8 Watch for Estela (9-2 morning line odds) goes for a Tony Cunningham barn that won with 2 of its first 3 starters last year at Horseshoe Indy, including a $23.80 upsetter. This filly’s best career start was her debut last May at the head of the form cycle and may come back with her best shot right off the bench. Win-place bet #8.
