Wednesday 25 March 2015, 10:59am

A field of 14 has been declared for Friday night's William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley, the final Group One race in Melbourne this season.

Classy Sydney sprinter Rebel Dane has drawn barrier seven for the 1200m race while Angelic Light, runner-up in the Manikato Stakes in the spring, has barrier four with Damien Oliver to ride.

She will be one of two runners for trainer Robbie Griffiths along with track specialist It Is Written who has gate eight.

Group One winner Famous Seamus, scratched from The Galaxy at Rosehill last Saturday in preference for the William Reid, has drawn wide in barrier 12.

A trio of three-year-olds have been paid up for the $400,000 weight-for-age sprint including Earthquake who has drawn barrier three.

The Moonee Valley program also includes the Group Two Sunline Stakes which has attracted a field of 10 including impressive first-up winner Noble Protector and Makybe Diva's three-quarter sister La Amistad.
