Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CHICORY BLAZE (2) is a promising four-year-old gelding who returned from a break last start and finished 0.8 lengths away in second over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Unbeaten second-up so there is plenty of upside. GAS ALLEY (6) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on May 25 over 1673m when he got home by 0.8 lengths. Likely to be in the finish again. RUN AWAY ROJO (3) resumed over 1207m and turned in a fair run to finish fifth at Listed level at this track (Dirt). With the run under his belt the extra ground looks a plus and should be much improved. INVEIGLED (1) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Arnaud Delacour yard. Most recently finished in the placings in stakes class at Colonial Downs (Dirt) before going for a break. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Not to be underestimated.

Second-up. Comes off a 43-day let-up. First-up after three months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on May 1 over 1207m, 6 len behind Goldwyn carrying 55kg at $4.70. Previously second-up won by 0.8 len at Sam Houston Park February 15 over 1308m defeating Tom Sawyer with 55kg at $9.90. Fitter but others appeal more.
