However, with Flemington likely to be favouring the outside after four days of racing, Secret Admierer's natural pattern of getting well back and swooping could prove to be an advantage.
Drawn in barrier four for regular rider Brenton Avdulla, Ben Asgari believes it's no 'secret' that the drop back to the mile as well as the spacious surrounds of Flemington appear in exciting mare Secret Admirer's favour on Saturday in the $1M Group 1 Emirates Handicap (1600m) at Flemington.
From two starts over the 1600 metres, this highly talented daughter of Dubawi boasts Group 1 victories in both the Flight Stakes as a three-year-old and a devastating win in the Epsom Handicap two starts ago.
Although unsuited to the tight Moonee Valley track at her latest effort in the Cox Plate, Secret Admirer showed her class, coming from last in the run to finish fifth, beaten less than two lengths at what was only her ninth race start.
With the pace in the Emirates Stakes appearing only fair on paper, Avdulla may choose to position Secret Admirer closer in the run.
However, with Flemington likely to be favouring the outside after four days of racing, her natural pattern of getting well back and swooping could prove to be an advantage.
With just the 54kgs on her back, expect Secret Admirer to confirm her status as the country's pre-eminent champion miler and cap off what has been a sensational week of racing by taking out the Emirates Stakes this coming Saturday.
She is currently trading at 7.0 to win.
