GLORIA MUNDI (3) fought on for third last start over 1m2f at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Should be prominent from the outset. Likely improver with strong prospects. CITY LIGHTS (1) missed the frame last time out when fourth over 1m2f at this track. Still a maiden but has been in the money on 11 occasions. Has recorded three minor placings from four tries at this distance. Has a high cruising speed. Among the leading chances. EMPRESS WU (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fourth in a 1m1/2f contest at this track seven weeks ago. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RISING RUSSIAN (5) finished second over 1m2f at Turffontein Inside in a then missed the frame last time out over 1m1f at Turffontein Inside. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. This looks a nice race for her.
