Group 3 placegetter BOLT'S BROAD (2) finished eighth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 7f at Churchill Downs, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Has the class to build on that encouraging effort last start. PENNY ROYAL (1) stepped out on her debut over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) seven weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 12 lengths. Likely improver who is worth another chance. SUSTANCIA (8) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but weakened to finish fourth over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Solid top-three chance on her best figures. PLAYBACK (4) is back after a break of six months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Solid top-three hope.
