THE BACHELORETTE bounced back from a disappointing penultimate start over 1200m to confirm the promise of her 1000m debut by finishing 4th over this trip last time against male opposition. She will have tightened up with the benefit of that comeback outing and won't need to improve much to fight out the finish. ELEGANT EDGE has the form and experience to play a leading role, along with STUBBORN LOVE, whose return from a lengthy layoff was encouraging. ARTIFACT and newcomers FIRST WHISPER appeal most of the remainder.
