Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
HE'S A CHARMER (6) finished 12th two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten only 0.4 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. THE FED'S PLOT (9) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth after being in the firing line on the bend at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track (Turf). Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. TURNBUCKLE (2) wasn't far off maiden success before a 11 weeks break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Handy draw will assist. Rates highly and is one of the main hopes. RUN FORREST RUN (3) finished out of the placings last time and when pulled up over 3420m at Foxfield (Turf). Can feature with the right run.
