Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
UP N UP (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts. CRAZY LEGS MIKE (2) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3.5 lengths away in third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MIKESTRUMPCARD (1) has been in the placings three times from 11 outings. Last start finished fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has recorded three top-three finishes from eight runs at this venue. Strong chance. Z SET THE MARK (4) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Tim Eggleston. By Elite Squadron from Katie Reaffirmed. Worth watching for a betting push.

Form hard to fault. Most recently got back early 4th of 7 at this track on September 16 over 1207m, 12 len behind Favorite Star carrying 54.5kg at $5.50. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on August 26 over 1106m, 4 len behind Unbridled Valor with 54.5kg at $11.30. Capable of a better run.
