      Verdict

      HIGH SECRET has obvious claims in this. Beaten only a head over track and trip a week ago, his first start since October, Sir Mark Prescott's charge can race off the same mark today and confirm superiority with Karam Albaari and Noguchi. Flemish School is now back on a winning mark and also drops down in class but 1m4f winner Cerutty could prove a bigger threat if lasting home over this longer distance.
