FINANCIAL WHIZ (4) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track (Synthetic) over 6f, beaten one length. Will appreciate the longer journey now. IT'S AUTHENTIC (2) finished 4 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1m at this track, an improvement on his eighth on debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis the run before. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. WORDS OF FORTUNE (9) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 20 lengths into eighth. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out. HUEVOS D'ORO (7) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Solid top-three hope.
