Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
FIELDS OF GREY (5) is progressing nicely this time in work, last time out finishing one length from the winner in second over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) at the third run back. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Expecting a bold showing. C R SULTAN (13) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1106m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Should be prominent from the outset. Likely to feature. MODERN LEGACY (11) has been in the money at the last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1609m at this track (Turf) at the third run of the campaign. Cherry-ripe now so a forward showing is expected. GOLD ON BLACK (14) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 25 lengths when seventh over 1408m at Saratoga five-and-a-half weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake.
