Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
DON'T CROSS ALEXIS (2) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when third over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. MAMBA OUT (3) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 12 lengths over 1207m at Fairmount Park (Dirt). Ready to bounce back today. SHANGHAI EXPRESS (8) was in the money first up at this track then could only manage lost rider last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Can bounce back to her best form. BEACH KITTEN (7) was a winner over 1106m at Belterra Park (Dirt) last time, racing on the pace before getting the upper hand and scoring by 0.3 lengths. Has never been out of the money over this course and distance from five attempts. Best figures stack up nicely.

Form hard to fault. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on October 20 over 1006m, 3.5 len behind Sunny's Flame carrying 56kg at $4.70. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 7 len at this track on September 21 over 1207m defeating When's Forever with 55.5kg at $2.60. Definite chance.

Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at this track on October 26 over 1106m, 2.25 len behind Rocket Hoss with 53.5kg at $7.70. The race before that ran on from midfield and scored a big 8 len win at this track on September 24 over 1207m defeating Keen Ice Sight carrying 55.5kg at $2.40. Can't make much of a case.
