Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
BAYTOWN PARFAIT (5) bounced back last start and scored by half a length after being prominent at the corner as favourite over 1609m at this track (Turf). Nicely placed to take this out. SHANKAR (6) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being prominent at the corner over 1609m at this track, beaten half a length. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. ST ARMANDS KEY (12) returns after a spell of eight months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1710m at Gulfstream Park Turf. Definite top-three chance. JAILHOUSE JUSTICE (4) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start missed the frame when fourth over 1609m at this track (Turf). Has a good record here at this journey with four wins and five minor placings from 13 starts. Has to be respected. Something for the Multiples: JUSTHAPPYTOBEHERE (3)
