CHAMPAGNE EXPRESS (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.5 lengths when fourth in a 1200m contest at Cranbourne a week-and-a-half ago after being in contention on the turn. Going up a level this time but she is good enough to play a major role. ILLYIVY (8) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1100m at Pakenham. Meeting a tougher field but she is capable of testing her rivals. MAUNA KEA MISS (9) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work and looks close to a maiden win, the latest effort a second over 1200m at Cranbourne. Worth including. MELBOURNE MAGIC (2) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.5 lengths adrift in third over 1000m at Ballarat on debut. Top-three prospects.
