Expecting a solid pace primarily from Legend Of Arthur. MOUNT PINATUBO (3) was not disgraced when finishing second last time after having won his debut two starts back by a nose. He should have no issues with the rise to 1600m. If getting away to a clean start, he should find himself in the winner's enclosure. LEGEND OF ARTHUR (1) was an easy winner when shedding his maiden tag at the second time of asking. He raced from a handy position, quickened up well and bolted in. Rates well as a leading chance. SUNSET RIOT (4) resumes from a spell having won last start over 1450m on the Inside course. He is a progressive type and will like the rise to 1600m. Diego De Gouveia retains the ride and he should be figuring in the finish. MOONLIGHT TRADER (2) drew clear when winning his maiden as the favourite over 1400m at the Vaal last time. If seeing out the extra 200m on offer he should be finishing in the top-three.
