ARTURO (2) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when second over 7f at Fairview, beaten 2.5 lengths. Richard Fourie gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. IRONTAIL (5) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and three minor placings from five outings. Should be hard to stop. DUKE OF ORANGE (12) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 6f at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Has the class to take care of this field. CHARLIE MALONE (3) produced a better run last start, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 7f at Fairview. The engagement of S'manga Khumalo is a positive move. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
