1st Log Hollywoodbets Durban July

You spot on. And Dave the King is better over 1600m to 1800m and 8/18 is no doubt better over 2000m +, besides why pass off an advantage, it will never have another one again in its carry and only offered once.

I took some of the 150/1 on Pomodoro's jet a while ago. By process of elimination, I hope he can still sneak into the final field. 

Good bet - imo rated too high on official ratings, but if 'they' are correct and he stays ..... one advantage is that Zackey has already committed to ride him, so he might sneak in ....  

I see Zackey has committed to riding The Real Prince

I see Snaith has thrown another spanner in the works - according to SAhorseracing, Underworld is also entered in the July ....

As in most anything is SA...the Underworld is always involved...

I am always cautious wrt a short priced horse over a distance race with a large field. The odds are generally too short with what could potentially go wrong...JMO
 

I agree Pirho . The Guineas and Daily News were small fields . The July is a different beast altogether where it's every man for himself. 

I am still not convinced he is going to run as the supplementing of Underworld would suggest Snaith wants another option available to him.
