AUTHENTIC PATRIOT (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Settles close to the speed. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DISCOTHEQUE (5) boxed on to finish second last start over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten half a length. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. ROCK MUSIC (1) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1207m. One of the main contenders. SOHO JIMMY (9) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 6 lengths over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt). Will drift back but wind up late. Don't underestimate.
