This is a difficult way to round off the afternoon and is a race that raises more questions than answers. Shush makes plenty of appeal on the pick of his form but does have a 42-day absence to overcome and may be best watched today. The same sentiments apply to Shaman and Must Be Magic, who may just need the outing to put them straight. Therefore Molly's Secret is taken as the selection today. Pat Eddery did not give her a hard time when her chance had gone last time but she should have come on greatly for the outing. She goes well on the track and appeals as a value selection here.
