Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance
GAMBLERS TAIL (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when fourth over 1710m at this track four weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. PALM TREE (5) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing seventh and beaten 5 lengths starting at $7.50. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. STOLEN POWER (7) reunites with J Mckee after scoring with ease over 1710m at Belterra Park (Dirt) last time. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on three occasions from eight starts. Shapes as one to consider. FLETCHER BAY (1) returned from a spell seven weeks ago when he was beaten 2 lengths into fourth over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf. Fitter and sure to run well.
