Weights Durban July

You could be spot on with your crystal ball, has the trainer given any reason that Mambo mime will not run, I am sure it should have been scratched already if they were not going to run it, do have my money on it , as well as solid speed. Any indication what Marcus will be riding

Looking at the daily news run, the horse that definitely most disadvantaged by the pace of the race was its my turn, did fourie have a choice of rides, if so he knows that this is the right one...the other Snaith runners will not be ahead of its my turn

Leader of the pack

FRODO you missed Judicial if mac de lago , master sabina and deo juvente get in then surely he will make it as well . He has good current form having won 2 runs back and ran on strongly in the jubilee (which may have been a touch short for him) .

His summer cup run off a 20 draw makes him a huge runner to get into the final field .
He will be the best weighted runner from the summer cup form .

Lets see how this will unfold !

Maybe, but I just feel his current form is not strong enough - won his penultimate beating Jubilee Line who flopped next time in the Jubilee Handicap where J was also beaten by Romany Prince and Rainy Day Blues - who are both also still in the mix for the July - so both should get in before J Also imo he will always be a better proposition on a galloping course, so not ideally suited to Greyville ?

I think Delpech had the choice - but jockeys have been wrong before :ohmy:

According to Sahorseracing,

French Navy - W Marwing
Trophy Wife - S Khumalo
Dynamic - L Hewiston

Negroamaro scratched. Think field is sorted now.


French Navy - Marwing
Mac De lago - Fayd Herbe
Deo Juvente -
St Tropez -
Solid Speed -
Master Sabina - G.Lerena
Dynamic - Hewitson
Trophy Wife - Khumalo

Bela-Bela - Delpech
Black Arthur - Whyte
It's My Turn - Fourier
Abashiri - Zechner
Rabada -
Mambo Mime -
Marinareco - van Niekerk
Rocket ball - Kennedy
Samurai Blade -
Ten Gun Salute -


Will be mad if Olma qualifies.
Any scratchings then from Saratoga Dancer , The Conglomerate , Rainy Day Blues, Romany Prince , Judicial , Deputy Jud. Ten Gun Salute gets in ahead of these as he didn't run too far off a few already running in the July.
Marcus looks set for St Tropez
Randolph on SS or Mm
Striker on Rabada or DJ

Still Yeni, B.Lerena, De melo , MJ , Dillon , Offer , Aldo , vd Merwe , Murray , Zackey who don't have rides.

Would love to see Ten Gun Salute get in and Muzi getting the ride.

Course suitability must not be a criterion for big race acceptance. Not that I think Judicial will qualify.

I see Zechner not on Abba anymore? According to SA Horseracing
