Verdict
WALLIS may be able to make the most of her high draw on her handicap bow following a career best performance at this track over six furlongs last time. That run transcended her previous form and the step back up in distance isn't expected to prove a problem for this half-sister to Forte Dei Marmi. Touch Tone appears to have the odd quirk but she's also blessed with ability and may benefit from a more positive ride than she received here last time whilst Mainstay has to be feared given her trainer's form. Belgique and Miss Mittagong may be able to leave disappointing runs behind them whilst Kingston Acacia would have finished closer last time but for meeting interference.
