Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming
ARRASOU (6) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 2 lengths last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Meeting a tougher field but on current form she is capable of testing her rivals. SWEET SCORECARD (3) met with solid support last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when fifth, beaten 9 lengths. Record at this track is strong. Right in this. PICKLE SHOES (5) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 2.75 lengths last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. SHANGHAI EXPRESS (4) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Capable of another bold effort.
