Solid tempo headed by Swanic Boom and Viking Forever. SPILL THE SECRET (3) improved sharply placing at Doomben and then raced handy again and missed less than a length here. Peaks now and the improver can go one better. ZAFARANA (7) switched from the top Victorian barn and just missed here first-up. He has more up the sleeve and fitter is a player. SWANIC BOOM (11) was close-up at Ipswich easily running his best race. He led in that and Fradd is a key jockey switch. Peaks and has to be considered. BITTER ROMANCE (9) runs along and found the mile too much of a jump at Grafton. She was much better there prior and will use the low gate again. This suits better and expect her to stick on better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Spill The Secret.
