Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
TOY'STROUBLEDHERO (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing second and only 1.75 lengths from the winner at the end of 1673m after being prominent at the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. AIR CHARGER (3) finished sixth over 1710m at this track (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on November 12. Capable of playing a major role. MACHTS NICHTS (2) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1673m at this track (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. EL JOVERO (6) is a last-start winner two weeks ago, scoring by half a length over 1673m at this track. Should be involved in the finish.

Third-up today. First-up 3rd in a small field at this track on May 13 over 1609m, 3 len behind El Siereno carrying 56kg at $2.80. Second-up raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.1 len at this track June 6 over 1673m defeating Pro Fever with 56kg at $4.90. Scored a maiden win last time and is worth thought again.
