CAPITAL HEAT (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. BOHEMIAN JIGGLES (4) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when seventh over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Settles back early but winds up late. Will prove hard to hold out. HOT LAVA CAKE (2) is a distance specialist who was in the firing line on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 6f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. VELLA (12) finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten one length. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
