INVULNERABLE (1) could only manage seventh on dirt over 1m at Ellis Park in a then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 6½f at Kentucky more recently. Right at home on dirt and worth another try. NORMANDY HERO (5) finished a 8 length eighth when resuming last start over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has been in the money at each second up start. Among the winning hopes. SOUND DOCTRINE (3) was an impressive winner last time over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), leading throughout and putting 6 lengths on his rivals. Sure to be thereabouts. IMPROBABLE JOURNEY (4) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations when resuming at Saratoga (Dirt), finishing eighth and beaten 39 lengths over 1m. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
