Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
HE'S LATE AGAIN (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1710m at this track after being prominent at the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. CHILLAX (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1811m at Saratoga (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Faces an easier assignment so he is perfectly placed to score. FOUNTAIN LAKE (3) finished a 22 length fourth first up two runs back on a dirt track at this track over 1710m. Followed that up with an unplaced effort on turf at Ellis Park Turf over 1710m. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from six starts and is right in the mix. PALM TREE (6) finished second last time over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf) when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.3 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
