Verdict
There’s little between most of these at the weights and Secondo finished behind third-placed Misty Birnam in a claimer here before placing behind runner-up DARK ALLIANCE over track and trip. The latter may prove good enough dropping into plating company today and Mark Loughnane’s charge also has the measure of Fast Track on latest running. Majestic Moon has been handicapping though his only win on the all-weather so far came on the Fibresand at Southwell.
