SECRET OF SUCCESS made all for a winning debut here last month. The runner-up has since let the form down but Rae Guest's filly was five lengths clear of the third and with improvement expected she can follow-up in this company. Balatina went close to catching Batchworth Lady over track and trip a week ago on her handicap debut. Chris Dwyer's filly can confirm running with the third Marmot Bay and should give the selection something to think about. Buy Art won his maiden over 6f at Brighton in June but has shown little in a couple of starts on Polytrack so far this year and the jury is out on him at present.
