Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 12 - Indiana Derby Stakes
DESERT GATE (9) Peaked on the run when 4th last time at Thistledown but up against stronger competition. Jockey Florent Geroux and trainer Bob Baffert should be taken seriously together. This field suits. LEADING CHANGE (8) Won easily by a margin of nearly 7L last start at Churchill Downs and fitter for debut run. Irad Ortiz Jr is a bonus. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. CREOLE CHROME (6) Put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of 18L last start at Evangeline Downs but racing against tougher rivals. Very competitive this preparation. Must respect in this event. BRICKLIN (5) First up and set the pace when winning by 3 1/4L first up last preparation at Oaklawn Park. Likely to be well placed early. Racing in stronger company. Minor prospects.

Good effort to place 3rd beaten by 7L last time at Churchill Downs and back in an easier grade. Has run into the placings all attempts this campaign. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

Flashed home late into 2nd beaten by 4L last run here and facing an increased distance. Will try to take advantage of the alley. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Hard to entertain.

Rattled home nicely into 2nd last start at Churchill Downs but facing formidable competition. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation. Very unlikely to cause an upset.

Gave them a lesson when winning by 18L last start at Evangeline Downs but challenged by a tougher grade. Has been a model of consistency this prep. Definite claims for punters.

Jumped at $3.00 and lost ground when 4th last time at Thistledown but stepping up to a higher level. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Commands respect.
