BRAVE WORDS (2) finished 9 lengths away in fifth last time out over 6f at this track when fresh from a lay-off. Tackles a longer journey this time. The testing material. STUNNING BRUNO (11) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 7½f at Churchill Downs. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. RIGHT ON RIGHT ON (12) stepped out on his debut over 5½f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) seven-and-a-half weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 3 lengths. Should be thereabouts. HALTER BOY (8) was well beaten last time and finished at the tail at Churchill Downs (Turf) but carries less weight. Better than last start and may well be worth another chance.
