Bookmakers opened all-in nominations markets on Monday but with Alizee and Champagne Cuddles having the outside two barriers in the field of 11, they are better odds in the first final field markets.

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.

The opening final field markets for the Flight Stakes are.
