Good early pressure with Been A Secret or Cavalheiro likely to take up the running. BEEN A SECRET (2) improved again winning a 62 here over the distance. Keep the 1.5g claim and expect her to improve again. Well placed to deliver the hat-trick. HAYAKU (6) gives away starts but has impressed both starts this preparation. Finished hard when beaten a whisker here two weeks ago and he gets plenty of weight relief at this level. REGAL EDITION (1) has returned to racing in solid order and is proven third-up. He has more to give and has each way claims. TOO MUCH MAKEUP (8) was plainer at Warwick off a wide barrier but her Kilcoy effort prior reads well. Draws inside today and Cartwright takes over from the 2kg apprentice. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Been A Secret
