Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Claiming
TAMBOURINE MAN (4) was not far away last time out, finishing second over 1006m at Belterra Park Turf (Turf). Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Likely to feature in the finish. POSITIVE EQUITY (5) is a three-start maiden who finished tenth at his most recent outing over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after he got a long way back in the run. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. JR BARTHOLOMEW (3) finished second last start over 1609m at this track (Turf), beaten half a length. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of running a bold race. UNIONISTA (2) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1006m at this track (Turf). Taking on a longer trip to kick off this prep. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.

Last start ran last of 10 at Churchill Downs on September 11 over 1710m, 25 len behind Roguishness with 52kg at $24.91. Before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 7 at Ellis Park Turf on August 23 over 1710m, 0.3 len behind T V Channel carrying 53.5kg at $2.29. Worth another chance.
