Verdict

Secret City is in fine form and completed a Redcar double from a 6lb higher mark but another 7lb rise makes life much more difficult. Trade Secret is generally consistent and has been staying on over the minimum trip though he's gone up in the weights without winning. SUPREME SPIRIT never fulfilled early promise but was tried in blinkers at Ffos Las and gained her first success for new connections. She's only been raised 3lb for that and has the scope to do better. Mata Hari Blue likes the trip and acts on any ground but a 4lb rise for her Goodwood success takes her to her highest-ever mark on her 32nd start. Commanche Raider has never raced on ground this soft but would be a threat to all if handling the conditions.
