Verdict

SECRET OF SUCCESS is two from two on the Polytrack and, though this is her toughest task to date, a hat-trick beckons. Rae Guest's filly had a bit in hand over 5f at Kempton last time and stays the extra furlong on this sharper track. The speedy Firmdecisions should be winning soon, though probably over the minimum, while Paul Cole saddles Keep The Dream and Puteri Nur Laila. The former has more scope and is preferred of that pair as the latter has had plenty of chances. Take The Lead won at Leicester in the autumn and can't be ignored but is making her all-weather debut today.
