I just took another look at the race .... and ...

... Minister's Bid was kept four-wide around the entire turn ... raced greenly until the eighth-pole ... and responded well when he switched leads and hit his best stride.

He ran his final quarter in about :26 flat ... which isn't great ... but not so bad considering that half of it was run off-stride.

A very decent effort for a second start ... and he's certainly eligible to improve. I wouldn't write him off just yet.
