Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
SWEET SCORECARD (1) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with two wins and four minor placings from eight starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. PATTY VAN TWINKLE (3) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by 1.75 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Sure to go well again. ARRASOU (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running a bold race. SHANGHAI EXPRESS (5) is having her first run since June 17. Has a strong record when fresh with two wins from four runs, the most recent over 1207m at this track at the start of last prep. Worth plenty of thought.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently won by 2.25 len at Belterra Park on August 5 over 1106m defeating Vicki Rose with 55kg at $2.40. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 len at Belterra Park on July 17 over 1207m defeating Code Of Valor with 55kg at $3. This is well within her grasp.
