Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
HYPERBOLIZE (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Turfway Park. Safely held last time out when third over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Won't find this as tough so he will prove hard to beat. GIANT MOON (6) turned in a decent effort last start when he made late ground to finish third over 1673m at Hawthorne. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. JACK RABBIT (3) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing 11th last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) six-and-a-half weeks ago. Settles back early but winds up late. Will prove tough to stop. FRACTURE (7) is switching to a turf track for the first time. Going well without winning, last time out finishing 0.3 lengths away in second over 1673m on dirt at Horseshoe Indianapolis. The addition of blinkers should see a bold run.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 44-day let-up. At the latest run sat on the pace when 3rd of 12 at Churchill Downs Turf on April 28 over 1710m, 3.5 len behind Gene And Jude carrying 56.5kg at $19.16. Before that scored a big 4 len win at Turfway Park March 20 over 1710m defeating Turnbuckle carrying 57kg at $3.61. Sure to be right there at the business end.

Second run back. First-up after eight months second last in a small field at Presque Isle Downs on May 27 over 1673m, 6 len behind Jes See Me with 54.5kg at $15.30. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 6 len at Presque Isle Downs October 20 over 1609m defeating Pillow Fight with 54.5kg at $3.30. Likely improver.
