The two to concentrate on here are Stands To Reason and Wixoe Express. With Barry Hills' yard in better form now Stands To Reason is the selection, having taken on better company on her last outing, she will appreciate this easier grade. Wixoe Express did nothing wrong on her debut and is sure to have come on for the experience, but just behind her that day were two solid performers, who have handicap marks of 70 and 72 respectively and that doesn't look quite good enough against the Hills' filly.
