Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming

JR SHADOW BOY (9) scored by 1.5 lengths over this distance in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) last time out. Impeccable record at this course, winning all five starts. Expect a bold showing. MOLLY'S TOWN (6) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1207m in stakes class at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. TEXAS FREE (2) built on a nice second two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 1207m at this track (Dirt) eight weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Fernando De La Cruz scored on him last time and retains the mount. Nicely placed to go back-to-back. LATIGO (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

At the latest run 5th of 8 at this track on July 27 over 1106m, 4.5 len behind Neutron carrying 54kg at $14.40. The start before that 4th in a small field at this track on June 24 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind Texas Free carrying 54kg at $5.50. Doesn't pose too much of a threat.

Comes off a 41 day let-up. At the latest run eased back early on 4th in a small field at this track on July 8 over 1106m, 2.25 len behind Bourbon Curiosity carrying 55kg at $6.90. The race before that won by 2.5 len at this track on June 22 over 1207m defeating Healing Waters carrying 54kg at $6. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Looking to keep his unbeaten record intact. When well in the market, came from midfield and scored a big 4 len win at Listed level at this track at this track on June 10 over 1106m defeating Mister T with 55.5kg at $1.05. Last time out won by 1.5 len in Listed grade at this track at this track on July 11 over 1207m in the wet defeating Hard Luck Prayer carrying 56kg at $1.05. Key chance likely to give a big sight.
