NUPTIALS wasn't without market support last time out and while she failed to show much then, she was entitled to need that run. Better can be expected here. The step up in distance looks a smart move for Champagne Queen and the booking of Luke Morris suggests she may be capable of a big run. Gentleman Giles has stepped up his recently and can grab a place if building upon that. 1. Nuptials 2. Champagne Queen 3. Gentleman Giles
