CAPTAIN AMERICA
A compact field of nine runners, including the exciting three-year-old filly Snowdance, will face the starter for the R1-million, Grade 1 Rising Sun Gold Challenge over 1 600m at Greyville on Saturday where a total of 10 Vodacom Durban July hopefuls will feature on the programme in a final bid for a place in the premier event on July 7.
LEGAL EAGLE
David Thiselton: Champion trainer Sean Tarry says imperious miler Legal Eagle will be nominated for the Grade 1 Rising Sun Gold Challenge, but is “unlikely” to run, and thus the clash everybody wants to see, Legal Eagle vs Snowdance and Tap O’ Noth, only has an outside chance of materialising.
HERMOSO MUNDO
Durban – Highveld trainer Weiho Marwing will bid to win the unofficial stayers’ triple crown…
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.
