Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
HIGH HONORS (2) got off the mark when resuming from a spell over 1006m at Belterra Park Turf (Turf) last start, scoring by 0.3 lengths. No reason he cannot get the job done again. TRUST THE WORD (8) ran well below his best last time over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths into fourth at $2.10. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. THE EXODUS TWIST (7) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2 lengths over 1006m at this track (Turf) after being prominent at the turn. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. CLOCKER SPECIAL (9) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 20 when beaten 17 lengths into seventh at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) over 1673m. Nicely placed to break the run of outs.

Comes off a 44 day let-up. Last start set the pace for much of the race 2nd in a small field at Fairmount Park on August 11 over 1207m, 0.1 len behind R U Joking carrying 51.5kg at $1.70. The run before that 4th of 7 at Fairmount Park on July 25 over 1207m, 6 len behind Nyquist Frequency carrying 50.5kg at $16.10. Likely to find them too smart.

Second-up. First-up after three months won by a 0.3 len at Belterra Park Turf on August 21 over 1006m defeating Tambourine Man carrying 55kg at $1.70. Previously second-up ran second last of 9 at Keeneland Turf on April 11 over 1710m, 16 len behind West End Kid carrying 54.5kg at $33.52. Fitter for recent racing and is a winning hope.
