Newmarket Race 4 - Empress Fillies' Stakes (Listed)
WHAT A GIRL WANTS (8) can register a first success. Showed the quality when 3.5L second tackling Listed level in the 1000m First Flier Stakes at the Curragh. Appears six days on from a G3 Albany Stakes defeat and this looks a winnable contest. HAVANA SPRITE (4) was off the mark on the third attempt by 2.5L in a 1000m Bath novice twelve days ago. Likely to improve and might be thereabouts. GLORIOUS GAME (3) made a winning start trying 1200m at Windsor seventeen days ago. Respect with this Hugo Palmer two-year-old going well. Oisin Murphy stays aboard. BEAUTY BOX (1) arrives after a 1200m Ripon maiden win eight days ago. One to watch.
