They should run this along with Ocean Chill and Knowing Look taking it up over Winner Of Kowloon. EMPRESS OF JAPAN (3) progressive mare resuming with excellent fresh stats. Came to the end of her prep with a fading seventh over 1500m behind The Mona Lisa at Rosehill last November. Primed for this with the two trials and maps well with the tongue-tie going on. OCEAN CHILL (5) expected to go close third-up over her pet trip. Stalked the speed with a sound second over 1350m at Wyong. Winkers go on and has genuine each way claims. URAFIKI (1) tough mare yet to tick the 1400m box. Back in grade when she rounded up inferior opposition for a comfortable win over 1200m at Canberra in a TAB Federal. The 3kg claim helps from an awkward barrier. CHILLI MARGS (2) former New Zealand-trained filly who made her Australian debut with a respectable sixth over 1300m at this track. Was a dominant winner second-up at Riccarton last October and stays in the mix. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,5,1,2.
