Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
TA TA TODAY JUNIOR (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1106m after being prominent from the outset. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. UNBRIDLED VALOR (6) is backing up 10 days after finishing third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Strong run last time and should be in the finish. MIKESTRUMPCARD (7) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid fourth over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PRAY FOR VICTORY (8) is backing up a week-and-a-half after finishing eighth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
