BRETT CRAWFORD
Mike Moon: Trainer Brett Crawford is having a golden season in KwaZulu-Natal and he swooped on a third Grade 1 trophy in just eight days when his gallant old-timer Captain America outgalloped the opposition in the 1600m Rising Sun Gold Challenge on Saturday.
MARINARESCO
Nicci Garner: Marinaresco, third on the log and a 13-2 shot with Betting World for the Vodacom Durban July next month, comes well at this time of the year and could have the R1-million Rising Sun Gold Challenge (Grade 1) at Greyville on Saturday at his mercy.
BLACK ARTHUR
Durban – Justin Snaith-trained Black Arthur is 10-1 fourth favourite with Betting World for the Vodacom Durban July, yet is not on the latest July log, which was released on Tuesday.
CAPTAIN AMERICA
Durban – Brett Crawford will attempt to make it five Grade 1s for the season on Saturday at Greyville when the mellowed six-year-old Captain America revisits a course that was thought to not suit him as a headstrong three-year-old colt.
MARINARESCO
Jack Milner: The fight for a place in the 18-strong Vodacom Durban July over 2200m at Greyville on 1 July will continue on Saturday with the running of three important Graded races.
THE CONGLOMERATE
Durban – Half of the remaining 36 entries for the R4.25-million Vodacom Durban July have been nominated to run in the two top races on Rising Sun Gold Challenge Day on Saturday 10 June in a final bid to be included in the 18-horse field for the country’s premier Grade 1 event at Greyville on the first Saturday in July.
