Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
CANTIS (10) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish ninth at his latest appearance over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. POSITIVE EQUITY (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 47 lengths into fifth. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. INCREDIBLE POWER (5) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last prep with a fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1609m at this track. Deserves serious consideration. JR BARTHOLOMEW (8) should be peaking now after finishing second over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) last time at the third run of the campaign. Joseph C Bealmear stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Solid claims on best form.
