Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
BOITANO (7) is a distance specialist who has been in good form, scoring three back at Turfway Park (Synthetic) then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second over 1609m at this track (Turf). Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. HIGHEST MEMORIES (1) resumed seven weeks ago over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis and was only beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the turn. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. TAKEITANDRUN (13) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 8 lengths over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Should go forward from the awkward gate. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. BRIT'S WIT (3) returns after a spell of five-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1811m at Aqueduct Turf. Comes here with definite top-three claims.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 39 day letup. Resuming ran last of 8 at Hawthorne on May 7 over 1673m, 58 len behind Sponge Bath carrying 56kg at $5.40. Second run from a spell 4th in a small field at Hawthorne Turf on May 28 over 1609m, 6 len behind Bizzee Channel with 56kg at $3.30. Hard to make much of a case.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd of 9 at this track on June 9 over 1609m, 4 len behind Shankar with 55.5kg at $1.90. The run before that made some head-way 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. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at this track on June 9 over 1609m, 7 len behind Shankar carrying 56kg at $8.20. The race before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at this track May 11 over 1609m defeating Memphis Pharoah with 55.5kg at $5.40. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.

Second-up. Comes off a 48-day let-up. First-up after two months scored a big 8 len win at Horseshoe Indianapolis May 19 over 1710m defeating Revs Medal carrying 54kg at $1.05. Previously second-up 6th of 8 at Colonial Downs on March 12 over 2213m, 17 len behind Digital Ops carrying 54kg at $25.50. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.
