Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
KAKI (5) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1609m at Kentucky, an improvement on her sixth on debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf the run before. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. FIRST LAUGH (1) is on debut for the B H Cox stable. Two-year-old filly by Upstart from Divine Comedy. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. THAT'S THE GIRL (2) finished 14 lengths from the winner in seventh last time out over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt) on August 23. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give backers a great sight. PRANK AT DAWN (4) debuted with a third, beaten 7 lengths, over 1106m at this track at her only appearance to date. Expected to feature.
