Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
SILENT STRIKE (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 19 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1106m at Ellis Park, beaten 4 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. OAK ALLEY (10) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. SHE'S CHLOE (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Turf). Will push forward and is among the chances. WELLA (9) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 1609m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
