Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
AMANI'S MUSIC (6) was one of the favoured runners when fresh from a spell last start but could only manage to finish sixth over 1006m at this track (Turf). Should take a lot from that last outing. Fernando De La Cruz stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Leading contender. BEAU CUP (1) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1710m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SHARP MINDSET (2) returns after nine months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 11th over 1106m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). Rates highly and is a chance to break through. CHERRY SPRINGS (10) faced the starter for the first time and finished eighth last start at this track (Turf) over 1006m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Should be thereabouts.

Second-up. First-up after three months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily ran second last of 7 at this track on September 22 over 1006m, 5.5 len behind Sugar Doll with 54.5kg at $3.40. Previously second-up 4th of 11 at Keeneland Turf on April 17 over 1106m, 2 len behind She Wants War with 53.5kg at $3.66. Fitter for recent racing and is a winning hope.
