MATCH FIVE (7) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Horseshoe Indianapolis three-and-a-half months ago. Sophie Doyle has registered two minor placings when on board. Leading contender. BEST DRESSED MAN (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Churchill Downs, beaten 10 lengths into sixth. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. POINT OF REFUGE (11) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of W A Ward. By Mendelssohn from One Hot Wish. Watch for a betting push. FINANCIAL WHIZ (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 49 lengths away in 11th over 7½f at Churchill Downs. Nicely placed to find some form.
