Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
SHIPS INN (5) was in the firing line on the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1207m at Ellis Park after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GLAMORIZE (2) returned last time with a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m after being in contention on the bend. Meets a stronger field but she is up to the task. SHOT AT PERFECTION (7) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt) when she was always up in the leading division. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MAGIC WOMAN (1) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 9 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Solid top-three chance on her best figures.

Comes off a 46 day let-up. Last start 2nd of 7 at Ellis Park on July 9 over 1207m, 0.3 len behind Quick To Charm carrying 54.5kg at $3.60. The run before that ran last of 12 at Churchill Downs on May 9 over 1408m, 12 len behind Tanya's Momentum carrying 53.5kg at $11.23. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.

At debut, ran second last of 7 at Ellis Park Turf on July 18 over 1710m, 20 len behind Define with 53.5kg at $10.37. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 46 day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 7 at Ellis Park on July 9 over 1207m, 6 len behind Quick To Charm with 54.5kg at $3.39.

First-starter by Liam's Map out of Gibbet. Tough to line up. Betting the best pointer.
