Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
HYPERBOLIZE (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Turf), finishing fourth and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 1710m. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. D DAY SKY (2) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1673m at Fairgrounds. Sure to make his presence felt. SURFIN' M (7) recorded a strong maiden win over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time, getting there by 4 lengths. Shaping up nicely and he is worth including. GARRYOWEN (11) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs, beaten 14 lengths into fifth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation fourth of 7 at Fairgrounds Turf March 20 over 1710m, 1.5 len behind E Lion carrying 55.5kg at $8. First up last campaign third of 7 at Fairgrounds January 31 over 1673m, 4 len behind Shepherd with 55.5kg at $6.90. Should be right in the finish.

At the latest run 4th of 10 at this track on June 11 over 1710m, 2 len behind Come Out Tonight carrying 55.5kg at $2.80. The run before that held ground to the line 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. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.

Second-up. First-up after three months 5th of 10 at this track on June 11 over 1710m, 2.75 len behind Come Out Tonight carrying 55.5kg at $8.60.
