LIBERAL ARTS (9) is back after a break of seven months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park. Has switched to the B H Cox yard. One of the genuine hopes in the race. BEN FRANKLIN (5) has had two runs since a break, the latest a seventh over 1m1/2f at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten 15 lengths. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so he is among the leading chances. LAMBETH (2) last appeared seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1m1f at this track when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Joe Sharp stable. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. TWO EAGLES RIVER (6) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 6½f at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten half a length. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
