Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
I'M A COOKIE LOVER (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when fourth over 1207m at Churchill Downs three-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. PICKLE SHOES (6) is racing well. Scored at this track (Dirt) two back then finished second, beaten 2 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt) at the latest appearance four weeks ago. Deserves another chance. PETER'S DREAM (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after she was prominent at the turn. Should be peaking now and is a key runner. ZOOMAHA (1) comes here off a break of five-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf. Worth plenty of thought.
