EMPRESS WU showed good speed over this distance last time, but found one too good in the form of Panthera Uncia. If repeating that effort in this line-up, she may be the one to beat. BILINGUAL finished 2.35 lengths behind the top choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and she may have to settle for the same result. ACT ON SNOW ran a fair race when second with the blinkers over this distance last time. The daughter of Act Of War is back against her own sex and she should have a say. BLINDFIRE was reported to be not striding out over 1200m last time. She drops to 1000m and the blinkers should sharpen her up. She gets the services of capable work rider Phelisile Mongqawa and cannot be ignored.
