Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
PERNICIOUS (6) returns from a layoff of five months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at this track. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Jose Cazares. Should be hard to stop. LO MACHAR (3) returned last time with a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1106m after being in contention on the turn. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. EURCOOL (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 34 lengths. Strips fitter and can figure prominently. SURELY AN ANGEL (7) stepped out on her debut over 1106m at this track (Dirt) a week-and-a-half ago and finished sixth, beaten 13 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply.

Second run back. First-up after seven months ran last of 7 at this track on April 21 over 1106m, 34 len behind Consequences with 53kg at $63.10. Previously second-up second last of 10 at Belterra Park Turf on June 25 over 1609m, 10 len behind Scary Proposition with 56.5kg at $84.20. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
