GREGARIOUS was a hard-fought winner of a 1450m maiden against male opposition last time but she relished stepping up in trip that day and the galloping Standisde track, albeit over the shorter 1400m, will be right up her alley. Class-dropper SKITTLE SKIES, consistent hard-knocker SALUTE THE FLAG and COPPER MIST, who would have tightened up after a much-needed comeback outing, have the means to expose any chinks in the young filly's armour. ALONE TIME is open to improvement stretching out to this distance so isn't underestimated.
