Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Cleopatra H. Stakes
EAST JABIP (4) is a boom three-year-old filly yet to taste defeat in two runs, the most recent win by 2.5 lengths over 1710m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Effortless win last start and sure to be in the finish again. FAYE'S GOLD (2) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at Turfway Park (Synthetic) two starts back then scored by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. SOLOIST (9) gave away a big start and never came on when resuming last start, finishing seventh and beaten 14 lengths over 1710m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the key runners. HOW ABOUT NOW (8) recorded her first win last start over 1609m at Keeneland Turf (Turf), getting home by 2.75 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders.
