      Verdict

      Secret Ploy, Monsoon Wedding and Bernix look the three to concentrate on in this maiden with the narrow vote going to Monsoon Wedding. The selection was a fair third behind Tarteel last time out, she has reportedly strenghened up in the winnerw and over this longer trip she is taken to put her experiance to good use. Secret Ploy rates the main danger as he is a fair sort over hurdles at his best and he appears to have been found a soft race for his flat debut and he should be closely watched in the market. Bernix was third behind Select last time and is another with place claims but he has been tried over a veriety of trips without success and again he is opposed.Of the remainder Verification has rand with promise in the past but may need the run after a 561 day break and for the winner we return to Monsoon Wedding.
