Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
SLAM DUNK JUSTICE (9) met with solid support last start over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) when sixth, beaten 4 lengths. Marcelino Pedroza who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Should be in the finish. AMERICAN WIND (6) scored by 2 lengths last start over this journey at this track (Turf). Has a sound record at this journey with a win and one minor placing. Leading player. ILLEGAL CONTACT (3) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Has a formidable combination with Irving Moncada who has been aboard for his last two wins. Capable of running a bold race. JOE THE TAILOR (5) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf. Should camp just off the leaders. Not to be discounted.

Comes here off a 34-day let-up. At the latest run ran second last of 7 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on August 18 over 1207m, 10 len behind Jr Shadow Boy with 56kg at $17.90. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a 0.1 len at Horseshoe Indianapolis on July 27 over 1106m defeating Slam Dunk Justice with 55.5kg at $4.50. Not going well enough to win this.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 39-day let-up. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a 0.3 len at Horseshoe Indianapolis on August 13 over 1207m defeating Stranger's Church carrying 56kg at $5. Before that won by 3 len at Horseshoe Indianapolis on July 28 over 1207m defeating Lambay carrying 55.5kg at $5.20. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

At the latest run won by 2 len at this track on September 2 over 1006m defeating The Exodus Twist with 55.5kg at $6.10.
