REECE'S WISH made light work of a career-high mark and step up in class against male opposition over this trip last time and could prove equal to this task with further improvement on the cards. DESTINY OF FIRE, returning PALACE DANCER, CARE FORGOT and VALENTINA BALDUCCI were well held at Grade 2 level when last seen but will be more competitive under these conditions. MERRYWEATHER had legitimate excuses last time and should be a factor if bouncing back to her earlier form. WILLY MEET AGAIN could also have a role to play reverting to this trip after a pleasing 1160m comeback.
