Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

AMERICAN WIND (3) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. PATRONAGE (5) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 11 lengths, over 1308m at Turfway Park. Well placed and should be tough to beat. REFLEX (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. THE IRISH RANTER (7) was prominent into the straight when resuming last start but weakened to finish seventh over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Not to be discounted.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 8 at this track on April 14 over 1106m, 3.5 len behind I Forgot To Ask with 55.5kg at $3.20. The start before that 3rd in a small field at Turfway Park on March 18 over 1207m, 4 len behind Banidoso carrying 56kg at $3.56. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
