GOOD LIKE MAGIC (6) met with solid support when resuming last start over 6f at Ellis Park (Dirt) when second, beaten 2.75 lengths. Rates highly and expected to atone. ARTHUR (8) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) with a win as favourite over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) three weeks ago, getting home by one length after being in the firing line on the corner. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. PICO D'ORO (2) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when sixth over 1m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf). Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. STINGY (5) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 12 lengths over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Better than his last start so worth including.
