Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
CREEK VALLEY (2) returned from a break last start with a mediocre seventh over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after settling well back. Worth noting Fernando De La Cruz goes aboard. Has the class to find the winners' list. MIKE'S CYCLONE (9) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when seventh, beaten 11 lengths, over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after he got a long way back. Will strip fitter and is a key runner. GO GO RO RO (4) got the prize two runs ago at Oaklawn Park. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 1106m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. HIGH AS THE SKY (3) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by half a length last time out over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Dirt). Is a winner at this circuit. Worth considering.
