SECRET STAR (2) is going well with four minor placings from five starts this campaign. Produced another good performance last start when second over 1000m at this track. Will enjoy the drop in grade so he is a major player. ZUCCARDI (8) kicked off for her new trainer on turf track for the first time last start when beaten 2.25 lengths into second over 1000m at this track. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and will be ready to run a big race today. OFF PISTE (9) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1000m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. VEEP (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1000m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.
