TAKE A BET WINA NUMBA NUMBA FM 72 HANDICAP 1500m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 22)   Outside rail: 7.5m in from 1600m with a 7.5m spur at 600m. Inside rail: At zero  

Expecting a slick tempo with Higgledy Piggledy, Northern Kitten and Superskitt leading the way. EMPRESS GAME (8) stayed on well at the finish over 1450m on the Classic course last time but found one too good on the day. She will love the rise to 1500m. S'manga Khumalo steps back into the saddle and she rates as the runner to beat. SECRET RECIPE (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third of nine over 1450m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. COUNT YOUR CHANCES (10) ran on from last when winning her last start by a nose over 1450m on the Classic course. She must be included in all exotic bets. HIGGLEDY PIGGLEDY (1) recorded a strong maiden win over 1450m at Turffontein Inside last time when well supported. Shaping up nicely and jumping from a good draw is worth considering
