HATS AND HEELS has been making steady improvement. She should be looking for the extra but she is carded to run on 22 January and that run must be taken into account. WAR TALK is knocking hard at the door. If able to overcome her wide gate, she could open her account after being beaten a neck in her last start. CHICKASAW finished behind WAR TALK previously. She is holding form and could show more over the longer distance. ASIAH'S TIARA has had many chances but continues to run decent races and could finally win. More can improve to win over the extra.
