Secret Gesture beat the other UK raider Miss You Too by 10 lengths before finding her less-fancied stablemate Talent too good in the Oaks. However, the Epsom form has taken a few knocks since and Ralph Beckett's filly will need more if she's to get the better of the home team with DAYTONA BAY the stand out among them. She beat a handful of these in a Group 3 trial at Hamburg and there's no obvious reason why she shouldn't confirm superiority in this. Quilita finished next best at Hamburg with Ars Nova, Wild Silva and Lady Liberty in close attendance. The first named is trained by Peter Schiergen and the leading German trainer also runs Next Green, whose earlier fifth behind stablemate Neatico looks better now with the latter having subsequently won a Group 1 contest.
