BILLAL (4) is a speedy colt who was a winner when resuming at Keeneland (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give a great sight. DONCHO (3) finished fourth last time out over 7f at Keeneland, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has an imposing record of two wins from three starts. Looks to have an edge on most of these. MAXIMUS MERIDIUS (8) lines up on the back of a 3 length second over 7f at this track. Should be involved in the finish. Group 1 placegetter PIRATE (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Keeneland, beaten 5 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
