Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming
PURDY DARN GOOD (7) has switched yards since scoring by 5.5 lengths at this track over 1673m on September 8. Looks set to run well for the new barn. BOITANO (6) finished a 4 length sixth on turf at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf two back then followed up with a minor placing on turf at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf over 1710m three weeks ago. Yet to miss the placings at this circuit, including two wins. Right in this. SPEED BIAS (4) turned in a fine effort to score by 6 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Going up a level this time but he can get the job done. SOUND OF VICTORY (2) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1710m at Fairmount Park (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention.

Most recently came from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on October 15 over 1710m, 3.5 len behind Debt Paid carrying 55.5kg at $4.80. Before that 6th of 9 at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on September 22 over 1609m, 4 len behind On Palm Sunday carrying 55.5kg at $3. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 57-day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; scored a big 5.5 len win at this track on September 8 over 1673m defeating Aguila Negra carrying 55.5kg at $2.60. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by 10 len at this track on August 20 over 1673m defeating Trust The Word carrying 55.5kg at $2.70. Ideally placed to play a significant role.
