Verdict

SECRET BEACH (7) has raced six times for an impressive four wins in an outstanding career to date. Made it three wins in succession at the most recent appearance, getting home by half a metre over 1 ¹/16m at Cambridge Raceway. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. THE SURFER (11) has had three runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Was again unable to find the frame last time when he finished sixth over 1 ?m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 14 metres. No favours expected from this draw. Leading hope based on his best efforts. CHANEL NOIRE (2) finished sixth last start over 1 ?m at Cambridge Raceway. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. MICK KONSTANTIN (4) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.1 metres at Cambridge Raceway over 1 ?m.
