Durban July today in Greyville ( Kwa Zulu Natal ) and the event is one of the most important on South Africa’s sporting calendar. History will be made this year, with Rachel Venniker becoming the first lady to ride in the contest. Her original mount, Without Question, was scratched when he pulled up lame on Thursday. Luckily, Snaith also trains the first reserve runner, Hluhluwe, and Venniker got the ride there instead.
The race itself is as competitive as a grade 1 handicap should be and can't rule out any with confidence. Green With Envy arrives here with 4 wins on the bounce and is a worthy Favourite. 11 other races on the card with 4 of them also being graded.
11.25 Greyville - ROMANCE IN ROME - Holds fair course form and ran well last time when dropped back to an inadequate 5f. Should prove dangerous back up to 7f at 16's.
3.00 Greyville ( Durban July ) - SON OF RAJ and DOUBLE SUPERLATIVE - SOR is a 3 time winner who is worth another crack this trip at 20's. DS is already a Grade 1 winner for this jockey and is back up in trip today at 28's.
5.20 Greyville - GET IMPRESSED - Tracker horse at 3's.
6.40 Greyville - KINSHIN SHA - Makes polytrack debut here and bred to go on the surface. Remains in good form and certainly looks interesting at 8's.
