Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
SHANKAR (8) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten 0.3 lengths into second over 1609m at this track (Turf) after being prominent from the outset. Has the pace to be thereabouts from the outset. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CANYON STREAK (4) continues to race well with a win two back at Hawthorne Turf (Turf) before finishing one length away in third last time over 1710m at this track (Turf). Sound record at this distance with three wins and five minor placings from 12 runs and is a key runner. BOURBON CURIOSITY (11) finished seventh two runs back at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length after being in the firing line on the turn over 1106m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. CULOIR (2) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1710m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Another forward showing is anticipated.

Form hard to fault. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on August 6 over 1710m, 0.3 len behind Free Advice carrying 51.5kg at $12.60. The race before that got back early ran second last in a small field at Belterra Park on July 11 over 1609m, 5 len behind Spencer's Boy Luna carrying 55kg at $3. Nice alley and worth including.

Racing well recently. Most recently sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at this track on August 6 over 1710m, 1.0 len behind Free Advice with 56kg at $5. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a 0.1 len at Hawthorne Turf on July 19 over 1609m defeating Man On Attack carrying 56kg at $2.80. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run from an inside draw.
