Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
START THE DISCO (7) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Should be prominent from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. BERMUDA (5) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fourth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1308m, beaten 7 lengths. Worth following up with that first run out of the way. TOLL BOOTH WILLY (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Sure to give a great sight. QUALITY RED (6) faced the starter for the first time and finished seventh last start at this track (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 14 lengths. Can improve sharply.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 3rd in a small field at this track on August 26 over 1106m, 3 len behind Maker Of Mischief carrying 54.5kg at $18.80. Second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at this track on September 30 over 1609m, 1.1 len behind Intoloun with 54.5kg at $7.70. Brings the right form to the table. Top chance.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, 2nd in a small field at this track on August 26 over 1106m, 1.3 len behind Maker Of Mischief carrying 54.5kg at $3.20. Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 8 at this track on September 30 over 1609m, nose behind Intoloun carrying 54.5kg at $2.10. Going well enough to take this out.
