      Verdict

      Aces finished closer over 6f here last time but has just the one win in 16 attempts on the all-weather and SECRET TO SUCCESS is preferred. The latter went close at Kempton the last time she competed over today’s trip and can race off the same mark today. Vino Santo also ran well at this venue when last seen over 7f and Deftera Lad slips further down the weights.
