GOING: G

Maiden Race 2400m Track: FIRM
Bell No Raise or Heiland to take the lead and attempt to control things. ORIENTAL KNIGHT (2) was well in commission last start over 2000m at Kokura when third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Rates highly and expected to atone. HEILAND (14) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 2200m at Nakayama after being prominent from the outset. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BELL NO RAISE (7) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. LEADENHALL (10) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 2200m at Kyoto. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
