Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
SORBETTO (4) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. SINATRA (3) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fifth in a 1207m contest at Churchill Downs two-and-a-half weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. SENOR VALENTINE (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf, beaten 5 lengths into sixth after being prominent at the turn. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running a bold race. START OUT (6) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Capable of another strong performance.

Four-year-old gelding (Tiz The Law - Wecallherqueenmary) at the races for the first time. This looks a tricky race for him.
