BALIYAD has been running well in maiden races and he can get off the mark at the fifth attempt by taking this maiden contest. The selection should have no problems with the return to this trip and he can take this at the chief expense of Calgath who is returning from an absence while third can go to Acrux Cass who was narrowly beaten last time.
