Well Majmu is a definite runner it seems.. Given a few days off then begins her July preparation as confirmed by MDK..

What are Meissa, Amsterdam, Double Clutch and Jayyed wasting their time for? Really Meisa has NEVER won over more than a Mile- Amsterdam is carrying the extra weight of a massive ownership transfer and his one top run might well have been a fluke, Double Clutch is not July class and Jayyed's only friends are the bookies who have bought new cars thanks to his amazingly loyal followers.

By Richard Mcmillan

Another 11 horses were withdrawn from the R3-5-million, Grade 1 Vodacom Durban July to be run over 2 200m at Greyville Racecourse on Saturday, July 4 at the second declaration stage today including the three-year-old filly from the Duncan Howells stable, Same Jurisdiction, that had been 19th on the July Log.



There are 46 contenders that stood their ground with the withdrawals being Light The Lights, Scotsnog, De Kock, Heartland, Trip To Rio, Run Rhino Run, Balance Sheet, Solar Star, Jet Explorer, Dante’s Legacy and MLJet.



Justin Snaith has declared Sean Cormack to ride Futura and Richard Fourie to partner Legislate and Gavin van Zyl has declared Keagan De Melo to ride No Worries.



Next Monday, June 8, is the date for final acceptance after the running of the Rising Sun Gold Challenge and the Cup Trial on Saturday with the July weights being published on Tuesday, June 9.



Final declarations will be on Monday, June 22 with the announcement of the final field and barrier draws at the special function at Greyville on Tuesday, June 23.

Can add a few to that list ......Akii Bua, It is Written, Mountain Master, Rushmore River, Ultimate Dollar - rated way below 100 and do not have a snowball's hope of getting in - then there are others who would be far out at the weights even if they manage to sneak in .....Dynamic, Judicial, Deputy Judd, Unparalleled.....if my sums are correct even The Conglomerate will be 1 kg out at his current rating ........which brings me to the ratings 'achieved in the Daily News........looks like they have used The Cong as the line horse and so pushed up Ertijaal and French Navy, which now means that French Navy will be giving Legal Eagle 0.5 kg's in the July.... and Ertijaal will no longer be out at the weights.........imo not correct as I believe that The Cong is not a 108 :huh:

Also interesting is that Fourie has now been 'declared' on Legislate - does this mean that he is now being considered for the July after it was said earlier that he is 'not sure to run'

Inara not mentioned in the article, but not in the list anymore, so assuming she is out

Frodo,as I said before ,the legislate warning made no sense to me and the riding arrangements now suggest that it was a lurk?
I know I am a cynic but how do you declare a horse a doubtful starter for the 4th July ,on the same day as confirming it as a runner on the 6th June! :dry:

I think it has the older brigade held if at best, and will include in exotics ,but is too temperamental for me,to have an outright bet!

Legal Eagle for me as it won its last 2 with contempt IMO and the MdK pair ,as the main dangers(hoping one comes out) .......adding Legislate and French Navy to exotics!!!

(using The Conglomerate as the line horse does Legal Eagle a big favour IMO )

Can't get my head round it whatsoever Rob

Bob, there seems to be a few of us that have felt The Conglomerate was overrated but the handicappers seem amongst the believers!

(not all that clear but I have used French Navy as my line!)

It Is Written better than appears on paper imo.... but really not suited to Greyville track. It is such a pity we have to have Grade 1 races again and again on a circuit which could just about be termed a 'specialist' track :silly: ...really detracts from the KZN champion season.
