Best-weighted WILLY MEET AGAIN is no stranger to taking on male opposition. She has maintained her form and consistency in stronger races so warrants respect off a reduced mark. Last-start winner KING'S EXPRESS and returning BUSTER BARNES also have decent form in better company so have to be included in exotic permutations. BIRTHRIGHT and THE PLAYBOY BOMBER are consistent performers at this level so also warrant inclusion. ERROL FLYNN had excuses for his no-show in a 3yo Grade 1 last time so is best kept safe. TINTIN could have more to offer stretching out to this trip off an unchanged mark.
