Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
GOLDEN DECREE (3) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Should be prominent from the outset. Among the leading chances. BEIJING (5) is a three-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent appearance over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf) after he got a long way back in the run. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. GRANDE SORPRESO (8) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Ellis Park Turf over 1106m. Can measure up again. BOSS' DEED (2) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished sixth over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt). No surprise if he figured in the finish.
