Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming
BOITANO (10) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by 0.1 lengths over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Should go forward from the awkward gate. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove hard to beat. SHANKAR (2) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 1710m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Rates highly in this line up. Gets his chance. TAKEITANDRUN (6) returns from a spell of ten weeks and did win first-up last time in work over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). One of the genuine hopes in the race. REVS MEDAL (8) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 10 lengths into fifth. Finds a nice race and can atone.

Last start ran last in a small field at Belterra Park on May 8 over 1609m, 22 len behind Gucci Man carrying 56kg at $12.60. Before that 3rd of 7 at Turfway Park on March 20 over 1609m, 5 len behind Silver Quarters carrying 55kg at $11.56. This looks too tough.

Returns from a 62-day let-up. At the latest run second last in a small field at Turfway Park on March 18 over 1710m, 14 len behind Non Fungible with 54.5kg at $3.54. The race before that second last of 7 at Turfway Park on March 6 over 1609m, 9 len behind Karlwithanarl with 54.5kg at $5.47. Worth another chance.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 52-day let-up. Most recently ran on from midfield and won by a 0.1 len at Turfway Park March 28 over 1609m defeating Shure carrying 54.5kg at $3.93. The start before that 3rd of 10 at Fairgrounds Turf on March 16 over 1609m, 0.8 len behind Fortuity carrying 57kg at $3. Big chance to go back-to-back.
