Sharp Secret is the pick ahead of Cyclonic Storm, Oh So Rosie and Uno Mente in this fillies' only handicap. With Lisa Jones once again in the plate, Sharp Secret will be a popular choice to follow up her course and distance victory of just over a fortnight ago. James Toller's inmate came fast and late on the scene that day, and under similar conditions can once again account for Uno Mente despite meeting that rival on worse terms here. A bigger danger may be Cyclonic Storm who got outpaced when sent off favourite over nine furlongs at Carlisle two weeks ago. The longer trip should bring out the best in her, while Oh So Rosie has bits and pieces of placed form so is another to consider for a place at least. It is hard to envisage anything else getting involved in the finish, and we expect Sharp Secret to mow them down again.
