Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HAWKEYE (1) proved too strong last start and scored by 4 lengths over 1207m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Boasts six wins here. Will find this much easier. Sure to run well. CAT ON TIME (4) last appeared when he saluted over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on September 12. Looks a winning chance. LOFTY ADJUDICATOR (2) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on April 30, finishing sixth and beaten 16 lengths over 1207m in Listed grade at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Good record at this journey with eight wins and six minor placings from 18 starts and shapes as one to consider. MULTITASK (5) was beaten 6 lengths into sixth in a 1207m contest at Delaware Park three-and-a-half weeks ago. No surprise to see him in the mix.
