Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
CRYPTO KING (8) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fourth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf), beaten 2.75 lengths. One of the leading contenders in this suitable contest. UNCLE WITH MONEY (2) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), finishing tenth and beaten 21 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is one of the main contenders. GOLD PAN SAM (1) ended up 20 lengths behind the winner in sixth on debut last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Plenty of scope for improvement. Top-three chance. SKIP N SCOOT (3) is a two-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Randy Matthews. By Paynter from Merilore. Top-three chance.

Comes here off a 31-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 8 at Colonial Downs on September 4 over 1207m, 40 len behind X G Man carrying 54kg at $9.60. The race before that ran second last in a small field at Colonial Downs Inner Turf on August 16 over 1106m, 11 len behind All Nessed Up with 54kg at $3.70. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
