Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
BASIL (8) is still a maiden after nine starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track (Dirt) two starts back before finishing sixth over 1710m at this track (Dirt) last time. Well placed this line-up and might be his day. C U WHENUGETTHERE (2) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Good chance to break through. TROUBLEONTHEGREEN (11) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs. Opened last prep with a second over 1006m at Tampa Bay Downs. Definite top-three chance. AUMOE (7) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Should be about the money. Something for the Multiples: QUALITY NOTION (6)
