      Verdict

      Not one of these has ever forced its head in front in a race when it really matters and confidence for the selection of Secret Bloom is dredged up as much in desperation as it is in hope. However, considering that the three-year-old comfortably held Roman The Park here last time, his claims look to be more solid than those held by Tim Easterby's charge today. A bigger threat may be posed by Harbour Princess, who is still unexposed and could easily take a race of this nature is she improves only slightly. However, she has done nothing quickly to date and looks to be one to be wary of today. So does Niteowl Express, who was well held when she was last tried here. So the safest option amongst this moderate bunch appears to be Secret Bloom now that she has shown that she can knuckle down for a battle when she wants to.
