Strong tempo from Two Tigers, Astrophile and Golden Slipstream. ASTROPHILE (11) was beaten just a long neck last start when second in a small field over 1000m at Vaal. Should settle handy in the run. Placed 2/3 so far and draw to go close again. AUTOGRAPH (3) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1000m at Vaal when he was in the firing line all the way. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CHESTNUT VERSE (7) is a nicely bred three-year-old colt making his first appearance at the races. By Vercingetorix from Chestnuts N Pearls who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Importantly has a nice gate and should be about the money. TWO TIGERS (2) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten a neck into second over 1200m at Vaal. Placed 6/9 and 3/3 here. Long overdue. Leading player.
