Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
POWERFUL JUSTICE (7) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1207m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TANK WALK (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1207m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MOUNTAIN MIKE (6) recorded a strong maiden win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time, getting there by 6 lengths. Looks well placed and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. REITERATION (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing third and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 1207m. Sure to be thereabouts.
