Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 11 - Daily Racing Form Indiana Oaks Stakes
CLICQUOT (2) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), getting home by 1.75 lengths. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is good enough to play a major role. HEAVENLY SUNSET (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. GOLDENEYE MAGIC (6) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a five time winner including last start when scoring by 0.1 lengths over 1811m in Listed grade at Thistledown (Dirt). Going well and worth thought again. TOP (4) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by 3.5 lengths as favourite last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish again.
