Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
DON'T CROSS ALEXIS (3) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 6 lengths over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Likely improver with strong prospects. CAVATELLI (1) lines up on the back of a 10 length fourth over 1207m at this track. A bold showing is expected. WHAT'S UP DOG (6) finished in the placings when a 1.3 lengths second on dirt at Oaklawn Park two back but then disappointed on turf last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf over 1609m when eighth, finishing 10 lengths from the winner. Reunites with Emmanuel Esquivel who has been in the money two times when aboard. Has winning claims on best figures. PICKLE SHOES (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
