ANALYSIS: Exposed performers in a race in which the middle seemed favoured, with the first three all having single-figure draws.

SECRET VISION had missed the break when behind Lizzie Rocket on her previous start, over 6f here, but with cheekpieces replacing the eyeshield she wore that day, she was much more settled this time, and getting off on terms, made all and ran on in good style. She's limited, but has now won twice, both on this track, and seems just as effective at 5f as she is at 6f.

Lizzie Rocket has yet to win a race, and seemed outbattled here after having virtually every chance.

Mac The Knife hasn't won for more than two years, and though he ran on late in the day, he never looked like ending that sequence.

This trio were clearof Hello Roberto, who chased up the leaders, but could never get on terms.
