Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
JOE THE TAILOR (2) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at Hawthorne. Looks a winning chance. NEUTRON (6) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis after being in the firing line on the bend. Worth noting Mitchell Murrill goes aboard. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. COUNTTHECARATS (3) finished a 0.8 lengths second on dirt at Horseshoe Indianapolis two back then followed up with another minor placing on dirt at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1207m two-and-a-half weeks ago. Joseph D Ramos sticks. One of the main contenders. EXPLOSIVELY (5) was below his best last time when eighth over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt), beaten 30 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
