Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming

EXPLOSIVELY (2) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m when beaten 3 lengths. Fernando De La Cruz stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Likely to feature. SOUND DOCTRINE (5) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when he scored by 5 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Will be better for that latest run and is expected to feature in the finish. CHARBONNAY (7) scored an impressive win by 4 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1308m at Belterra Park (Dirt). Will be better for that latest run and looks a big threat to the top selection. HEALING WATERS (3) was beaten 8 lengths into fourth over 1207m at this track seven weeks ago. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
