Successful Secret

J: D B Geerthsen ³

T: B Webber

Potentially well treated but a long time since he saw any reward for his efforts; 11th of 12 in a handicap (C&D) last month; been eased in the ratings by the handicapper; not hard to turn elsewhere despite this looking a little easier than last time

Var Park

J: P Strydom

T: G J Maroun

Been generally quiet since successful in a maiden plate at Vaal Classic in January; upped to 7f (handicap, Vaal Classic) when unable to land a blow in seventh latest; must hope refitting of blinkers (absent last time) will help but unlikely to do better than a supporting role

This should be a competitive affair - Dark Tide may not be the force of old while Samoa has won over course and distance. However, IN THE ETHER could be the one to side with. She is a distance winner and the form of her last race has been franked.
