FormscanBy Tom Weekes - HEARTRATE returned following a 177-day break when second to Almendares here recently. He had previously shown form on testing ground at Cork in September and on his last run, shaped as though he would stay today's extra furlong. Artemis Jones herself finished the same 1.25 lengths behind Almendares when running well on debut, although Almendars was lacking a run on that occasion. Today's rider claims 3lb, which is a help, and she is likely to improve having been slowly away on debut. Initial Attempt has form over a mile and while sure to run another useful race, could be vulnerable to one or two. Lily Maguire disappointed behind Artemis Jones in February but had earlier run well at this distance in January. Highland Rahy, a 160,000 dollar purchase last September, is a half-brother to three Japanese winners and is out of a half-sister to a Grade 1 winner.
