Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
GOLDEN DECREE (3) Tidy effort when 3rd last time here. Cruz Fernando De La and Brad H Cox are an imposing duo. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. Respect against this field. BEIJING (5) Not competitive when 5th last run at Saratoga but solid career start. Finishes off strongly. Have to respect the recent stable form. Deserves consideration. JUSTONE MORE THING (7) William D Cowans trained 3yo by Mendelssohn having first start. Watch betting. GRANDE SORPRESO (8) Couldn't keep the pace going when 3rd last time at Ellis Park. Should muster plenty of early speed. Goes very close.

On a short turnaround. Started $7.50 and came in 5th last start at this venue but has minimal work to do from the gate. Shows good early pace. Watch the betting.

Ran well when 3rd last time here. Jockey Cruz Fernando De La and trainer Brad H Cox are a pair that can't be ignored. Strong prospects in this race.

Started $5.00 and lacked competitiveness when 5th last run at Saratoga but putting a tidy record together so far. Expected to be flashing home. Has some claims.

Ran a solid race on the speed before weakening to finish 3rd last time at Ellis Park. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Good chance in this.
