Verdict

WEMIGHTTAKEDLONGWAY acquitted herself notably well in Group 1 company last season and is taken to make the most of the marked drop in grade, especially with chief form rival Magical Zoe having a very long absence to overcome. It's A Heartbeat was improving fast prior to her Naas flop when reportedly lame, so shouldn't be taken lightly.
