Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance
PISTOLE (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1207m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Going up a level this time but he cannot be overlooked. MONSTER MAX (5) got off the mark with an impressive maiden win when resuming last time out over 1207m at Parx (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Capable of making it two on the trot. COUNTTHECARATS (4) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 1006m at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths. Steps up a level but he is capable of running a bold race. GRIND (2) finished sixth last time out over 1710m at Fairmount Park, beaten 6 lengths. Best figures stack-up nicely.

Second run back. Comes off a 54-day let-up. First-up after nine months came from midfield and scored a big 10 len win at Parx on August 26 over 1207m defeating Wholelotoftrouble carrying 54.5kg at $2. Previously second-up 3rd of 7 at Parx on November 4 over 1207m, 22 len behind Parker Boone carrying 54.5kg at $3.40. The one to beat based on that latest effort. Improver with winning prospects.
