Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
BIG BOY THUNDER (2) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. BOZZETTO (10) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold third, beaten 4 lengths, over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. BRIDGESONG (11) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 4 lengths when fourth in a 1207m contest at Horseshoe Indianapolis three-and-a-half weeks ago. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. QUIET MISCHIEF (12) was close to breaking through last time, beaten just half a length over 1609m at this track (Turf) after being prominent at the bend. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention.
