Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
J Z'S LAST SCHANCE (8) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1006m at Belterra Park Turf, beaten 2.5 lengths. Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. STORM BAY (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Ellis Park Turf, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CHANNAH DEL MAR (3) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 13 lengths into fourth over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the task. DON'T LOOK BACK (5) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 0.3 lengths over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Solid top-three prospects.

Second run back. Comes off a 46-day let-up. First-up after three months ran second last of 8 at this track on July 9 over 1609m, 5 len behind Ce La Vi Charli with 55.5kg at $58.90. Previously second-up won by a 0.3 len at Mahoning Valley on April 8 over 1609m defeating Diablo Shiraz with 57kg at $2.50. Unlikely to threaten.
