Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
FRAUDSTER (6) returns from a spell of ten weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished fifth at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) over 1710m when first-up last time in work. Makes plenty of appeal in the new surrounds. LADY FAYE (3) returns after a spell of nine weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1609m at Turfway Park. Looks a winning chance. MARIPOSA MOON (9) started at $3.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1710m. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. ARMY CHIC (10) made progress last time out, finishing 10 lengths from the winner in second over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.

Returns from a 36-day let-up. At the latest run settled back and ran on when 6th of 9 at this track on July 15 over 1609m, 8 len behind Voluntold with 52kg at $4.60. The run before that raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 9 at this track on June 11 over 1710m, 16 len behind Chere Amia with 52kg at $4.40. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.
