TOP CONOR (14) finished fifth last time out over 1m at Churchill Downs, beaten 3 lengths. Has the right credentials. Group 2 placegetter SPIRIT PRINCE (6) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1m1/2f at this track. Comes here with definite claims. ARMY OFFICER (9) held on well to finish second last start over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Turf), beaten half a length. Looks well placed so expect another forward display. Group 1 placegetter PIRATE (7) gave away a considerable start over 6f at Listed level at Aqueduct (Dirt) last time before hitting the line well to finish fourth. Was outdashed but got going late and looks suited by the extra ground. Solid top-three prospects.
