Draw: 10 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He won a game race over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. His work at home has been solid and if he gets an easy lead from his wide draw, he should have a good each way chance.

Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 52.0kg
Draw: 1 (18 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 16/1
He heads into the Hollywoodbets Durban July in very good order. His gallop last week Thursday has put him exactly where he should be from a fitness perspective. He carries bottom weight of 52kgs and is drawn in pole position. The stable feels he should have no issues with the 2200m. If reproducing his best form, he should be a player.

She gets a run in the Hollywoodbets Durban July and Mickaelle Michel will ride from Barrier Three. She came out of the Grade 3 Lucky Fish Winter Fillies Stakes well. The stable could not be happier with her wellbeing heading into this race. She is under sufferance, but from a handy draw, we are hoping for a good run.
