Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
WHICH SIDE R U ON (1) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when third over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. GARRYOWEN (2) returns after a spell of three months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1609m at Turfway Park. Capable of playing a major role. THIS BEAU KNOWS (5) registered his first win last start over 1609m at Canterbury Park Turf (Turf), getting home by a nose. This is tougher but he is capable of another big run. BON TEMPS (3) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 1609m at Ellis Park, beaten 6 lengths. Should be thereabouts.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 47 day let-up. At the latest run won by a nose at Canterbury Park Turf on July 30 over 1609m defeating Loco Por Ser Libre carrying 54.5kg at $3.20. The run before that 4th in a small field at Hawthorne Turf on June 28 over 1106m, 13 len behind Mischievous Richie with 54.5kg at $7.30. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.
