Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
AMANI'S MUSIC (1) finished second as favourite last time out over 1006m at this track (Turf), making it two minor placings from three career starts. Form sound without winning and she should be involved in the finish. VEOLA (2) is resuming from a spell of three months and having her first run for the David Jacobson yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) over 1006m. Key runner fresh from a break. SANG (8) finished fourth over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis when resuming last start after strong market support, beaten only 1.1 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Stepping up a level this time but with added fitness she is one of the key runners. NO SELF CONTROL (5) has been in the money six times including last start on June 4 when second over 1106m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Goes well here with two top-three finishes to her credit. In the mix.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 42 day let-up. Most recently sat on the pace when 2nd of 9 at this track on May 13 over 1006m, 2.75 len behind La Puma with 54.5kg at $2.80. The race before that 4th of 11 at Keeneland Turf on April 17 over 1106m, 2 len behind She Wants War with 53.5kg at $3.66. The inside draw is a real bonus.

Back after a long spell. Only had one start last preparation 4th of 8 at Saratoga Turf on July 20 over 1106m, 4.5 len behind Regalton with 54kg at $4.05. When resuming last campaign settled back and ran on when 7th of 10 at Churchill Downs on June 21 2024 over 1106m, 11 len behind Eclatant carrying 54kg at $19.04. This looks a stern test.
