A decent contest can be taken by SECRET WITNESS, who can defy a penalty to outpoint Dvinsky, Misaro and Mudhish. Welcome Approach would be much more attractive from today's mark if this were at Wolverhampton, but on this faster surface he is not as effective and can be opposed. Boho Chic looks exposed and held on her form of last summer, though improvement is not beyond the realms of possibility. Dvinsky is 3lbs better of with Misaro after beating him last time, and so should be able to confirm that form, and with his liking for the Sunbury track then he should emerge as a leading player tonight. Mudhish is an exposed performer who acts at this track and has gone well in defeat from similar marks, so is not ruled out, though we will side with Secret Witness. Ron Harris's four-year-old carries a penalty for running on well to beat Fromsong in a similar race here last time, and as a consistent performer he is virtually guaranteed to run his race here. This trip looks to be his optimum and we will give him the nod to follow-up.
