THE PADDOCK PASTOR (8) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1m1/2f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has the ability to take care of this field. WICKED SECRET (2) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1m at this track (Turf). Today might be his day. GENERAL'S DUTY (1) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the bend before being beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 1m1/2f at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Beautifully placed and is sure to find some form. MONEY IN MOTION (4) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
