Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming

WILLIE BIRD (2) is a five-time winner who has been performing well, scoring by one length last time out over 1207m at Mahoning Valley. Goes well at the trip and he looks sure to be in the finish again. KILLJOY (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on January 21, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. EXPLOSIVELY (6) improved last start to finish third over 1207m at Turfway Park. Has the class to take this out. HEALING WATERS (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. The engagement of Alberto Burgos is a positive move. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
