Alizee remains the favourite but barrier 10 has seen her odds pushed out to a top price of $3.30 while Champagne Cuddles is now as high as $4 after drawing the outside barrier.

The third favourite in markets is Queensland filly Cellargirl at $6 while John Thompson's filly One More Honey is an $8 chance, ahead of the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained Pandemonium at $8.50.
