RISK FACTOR (3) was among the placegetters when beaten 1.5 lengths on synthetic two back at Gulfstream Park All Weather but was less effective on the turf last time when unplaced at Laurel Turf over 1609m two-and-a-half weeks ago. Better than last run. Certainly worth another chance. PARALEGAL (7) has two placings from four runs this preparation, most recently finishing third as favourite over 1207m at Penn National (Dirt) after being prominent at the corner. Freshened for this. Should run well again. MINISTER (8) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 1609m at Laurel (Dirt), beaten 15 lengths. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this circuit. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. BEN'S HERO (5) comes here off a break of nine months. Worth noting it filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1106m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal.

Last start ran last of 8 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on April 29 over 1609m, 17 len behind El Bailador with 54kg at $30.20. The run before that held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Tampa Bay Downs on April 15 over 1207m, 6 len behind Redbird Nation with 56kg at $6.70. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Not raced for 50 days. Resuming 5th of 9 at Penn National on March 20 over 1207m, 10 len behind Doctor's Orders with 51.5kg at $31.60. Second-up ran last of 10 at Parx on March 31 over 1408m, 22 len behind My Kid Syd with 52kg at $72.20. Finds a few better today. Can't recommend.
