CHAMPAGNE EXPRESS (7) ran below expectations last time at Ararat, finishing ninth and beaten 9 lengths starting at 17/2. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she has the ability to mix it with them. SERIAL CELEBRATOR (10) is a two-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Mornington. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. EL FORTRESS (3) finished 3 lengths away in seventh last time out over 5f at Pakenham after being in contention on the corner two weeks ago as 9/4 favourite. Tackles a longer journey this time. Among the chances. MAUNA KEA MISS (8) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last time over 6½f at this track when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely improver with winning claims.
