Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
C J'S STORM (5) scored by half a length last start over this journey in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this course and distance, including five wins and six placings. Can go on with it. DAWN AT NORMANDY (1) dug deep to score two runs back then was beaten 5 lengths into fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time six-and-a-half weeks ago. Should be prominent from the outset. Leading contender. BOHEMIAN BO (4) returns after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at Oaklawn Park. Has recorded three wins when first up from a break. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Brian Knippenberg. Definite top-three chance. DEFENDING ALBERT (3) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a nose away in second over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
