Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CLASSIC CAR WASH (3) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish a nose back in second over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. FOUNTAIN LAKE (4) returned to winning form last start, scoring by one length over this journey at this track (Dirt). Goes well over this journey with two wins and three minor placings. Leading player. BOURBON SOCIETY (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the turn. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. SEIZE THE NIGHT (2) finished third last start over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Nicely placed to run well again.

Third-up today. Comes off a 60 day let-up. Resuming ran second last of 7 at Churchill Downs on May 9 over 1811m, 17 len behind Tiztastic with 55.5kg at $3.11. Second-up ran last of 7 at Churchill Downs on June 28 over 1710m, 7 len behind This Is Uscar with 55.5kg at $9.02. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
