Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
BOITANO (6) clocked-in second behind My Romeo Lima last time out at Belterra Park (Dirt) over 1673m. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and one placing. Sure to run well. TAKEITANDRUN (11) scored an impressive win by 8 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Has a strong second-up record and he looms as a significant threat. JAZZOLE (13) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). This is an easier assignment and can get the job done. SHANKAR (8) lines up for the first time since March 18. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at Hawthorne. Makes plenty of appeal.

Most recently 3rd of 7 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on May 18 over 1673m, 0.6 len behind Rich Kingdom carrying 55.5kg at $6.60. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on May 6 over 1609m, 0.3 len behind Hard Rye Guy carrying 55.5kg at $4.30. Draws well but predicted to struggle.

Resuming after a break of three months. Finished off last preparation sixth of 8 at Turfway Park March 11 over 1308m, 11 len behind Neoking with 55kg at $4.04. When resuming last campaign fourth of 12 at Turfway Park January 10 over 1207m, 3 len behind Mister Rosso with 55kg at $6.84. This looks too tough.

Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Most recently got back early 5th of 8 at Lone Star Park on May 10 over 1609m, 13 len behind Now And Later carrying 55.5kg at $8.50. The start before that second last of 7 at Sam Houston Park Turf on March 22 over 1609m, 5 len behind Whiskey Not Wine with 56kg at $21.30. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Racing well recently. Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Belterra Park on May 29 over 1673m, 4.5 len behind My Romeo Lima with 55.5kg at $2.50. Before that ran on from midfield and won by a 0.1 len at Turfway Park March 28 over 1609m defeating Shure with 54.5kg at $3.93. Definite chance.
