#10 Zip Code Envy is the morning line favorite in Presque Isle Downs' Race 5: Maiden Special Weight (six furlongs on Tapeta, 3:18 p.m. ET). #2 Heavenly Hash is 7-2. HeavenlyHash finished fifth in her debut sprinting six furshings against maiden special weight company at Presques Isle.

#11 Hot Little Thing is a possible standout in the Miss Indiana S. race at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Corningstone (7-2) and E’s Magic (4-1) are also in contention.

Keeler Johnson's picks and plays for Horseshoe Indianapolis: Race 8: Indiana Futurity (one mile and 70 yards, 6:09 p.m. ET). #1 Bruster Justice (5-1) faltered to finish fifth in the six-furlong Circle City S. at Hourseshoes last month. Good Forever (7-2) and Healing Waters (9- 2) are logical contenders to vie for the minor awards.
