Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
THE EXODUS TWIST (1) finds it hard to win with just one success from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 10 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. TIP TOE JOE (3) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 15 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when tenth over 1207m at Ellis Park, beaten 11 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can find the winner's circle. MADFERIT (8) resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1207m at Turfway Park. Winning chance while fresh. RIOJA ALTA (2) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 2 lengths to spare over 1106m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Is going okay this campaign, recording two wins and a minor placing from six starts. Can sneak into the finish.

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign third in a small field at Presque Isle Downs May 19 over 1106m, 0.8 len behind Fistfulofmoney with 53.5kg at $4.30. At his first start to post a big 4 len win. Turfway Park January 2 over 1207m defeating Halftime Show with 54.5kg at $4.42. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.
