Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming

HAWKEYE (5) is racing well, scoring two back in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) before finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. CUPID'S RUNAWAY (4) was in contention on the bend and finished half a length away from the winner in second last start at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Form over this journey is strong, boasting six wins from nine starts. Alberto Burgos who has eight wins when partnering stays on. Sure to run well. VSOP (2) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 5 lengths victory over 1207m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago. Should be prominent from the outset. Will be in this for a long way. JR JIMMY (6) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it three wins from five starts this campaign. Form this track is hard to knock with four wins from 11 starts. Solid claims on best form.
