BOURBON SOCIETY (1) was well fancied last time and did a good job to finish third over 1m1f at Ellis Park (Dirt) at the third run of the prep. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expecting a bold showing. DUKE OF DUVAL (7) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 1m at Ellis Park (Dirt), beaten half a length. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be underestimated. EGLISE (8) did a good job last start to finish second at Ellis Park (Dirt) over 6f, beaten a nose. Cherry-ripe now. In the mix over the longer journey. MAGNIFICENT RAGS (5) turned in a much better run at his second appearance last time out when 0.7 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1m1f at Ellis Park (Dirt). Progressive type with strong claims.
