Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
START HER UP (7) has been in the money two times including last start on September 9 when second over 1609m at this track (Turf). Has been in the frame at both appearances at this venue. Sure to prove very tough to beat. MARIPOSA MOON (4) made significant late ground last start to get up for third over 1609m at this track (Turf). Likely to feature. SOVEREIGN GRACE (6) is a six-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at this track (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 6 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. IMMINENT RISK (8) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has ability so don't underestimate.
