Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
BOMBAY (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1106m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf, beaten 2.75 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. TRIPLE DARE (6) settled well back when 22 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1609m at Kentucky last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Colonial Downs Inner Turf the run before. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. THUNDER TOWN (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Belterra Park over 1673m. Has a good gate and gets his chance to break through. J'ACCUSE (5) was safely held last start on debut over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Should appreciate the longer journey now. Will take a lot from that hitout and should do much better.

At debut, eased back early on ran second last in a small field at Presque Isle Downs on September 2 over 1106m, 5 len behind Cactus Kristofer with 54.5kg at $7.40. Will have benefited from that outing and is likely to measure up.
