GENTLEMAN'S SECRET (10) never threatened last time when eighth over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Freshened up and coming back in trip. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. IN THE ARCH (9) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 5f at this track (Dirt). Chris R Rosier who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Leading contender. CARBON STRYKER (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 11 lengths away in sixth over 6½f at this track after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. FAR BEYOND (7) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1m after being prominent until the final stages. Best figures measure up nicely. Should be about the money.
