ALITTLEBITOFLOVE and CHAMPAGNE AIR have improved after moderate introductions so could fight out the finish if making further progress. The former was 3rd over 1600m last time and that experience over this distance stands her in good stead. KNOCKIN' BOOTS is held on that form but has the means to play a role in the outcome. FOREST ACT is better than her last start suggests and could get into the picture if bouncing back to earlier form. FIRST WHISPER (gin strike!) and PANDORA FORT are open to any amount of improvement after satisfactory introductory outings.
