Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
BOURBON CURIOSITY (1) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1207m at this track, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner. Has the right profile. LEO SPRINGS (6) improved last time out, finishing half a length from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. HEAVENLYCONVEYANCE (5) has switched yards since finishing third three weeks ago over 1207m at Keeneland. Can make his presence felt. MISTER BANDERAS (2) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Top-three prospects.
