Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
WHAT'S UP DOG (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when eighth in a 1207m contest at Ellis Park three-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is a major player. SCHOOL SPIRIT (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. CAVATELLI (3) was in the money two starts back at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf but couldn't back it up last time when seventh, beaten 8 lengths, at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf) over 1609m. Going up a level this time but she deserves another chance. MOMENTARIO (4) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1006m at this track (Dirt), finishing 8 lengths back in seventh. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

The race before that 2nd in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on August 13 over 1673m, 0.3 len behind Don't Look Back carrying 55.5kg at $15.
