EMPRESS GAME (8) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 15 starts. Was again denied last start when she found one better over 7¼f at this track. Nicely placed to figure in the outcome. HIGGLEDY PIGGLEDY (1) recorded a strong maiden win over 7¼f at Turffontein Inside last time, getting there by 2.75 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and she is worth including. SECRET RECIPE (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 7¼f at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. NORTHERN KITTEN (2) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 7¼f at this track, beaten 14 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
