MINISTERIAL (3) is a distance specialist who progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just a nose from the winner in second over 1m1 1/2f at Churchill Downs after being in contention on the turn. Worth noting John R Velazquez goes aboard. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LIBERTE DE BAYEUX (9) recorded his maiden win three back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when third at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Jose Lezcano sticks. Should be hard to stop. CONFABULATION (10) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has scored at his last two, the latest over 1m at this track (Dirt) winning by 2 lengths. Races well here and rates one of the each way chances. SORORITY PRANK (7) went forward and gave a great sight when second over 1m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has a strong record at this distance with a win and six minor placings from seven starts and cannot be underestimated.
