GOING: G

Maiden Race 2200m

Track: STANDARD      

Arc D'or has good gate speed and likely to set a genuine tempo with the advantage of the inside draw. BELL NO RAISE (12) is a very consistent conveyance who has been knocking on the door of a maiden victory and strikes a winnable contest here. Strips fitter second-up from the spell and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. ORIENTAL KNIGHT (16) has placed five of ten overall and rarely puts in a poor performance. Can finally shed the maiden tag against this lot. PIECE D'ARGENT (3) resumes here but showed enough when last in work to warrant consideration in a race like this. Can feature while fresh. SUNRISE GUTS (10) next in line in a race with plenty of chances.
