MAGIC TIPS (Winning Form) Comment:
The 2nd reserve runner who has shown fair ability and will have no trouble with the eleven furlongs. However, he clearly lacks the class to pull off this event and was easily beaten by BLACK ARTHUR in the Cup Trial early last month. The pair meet on similar weight terms and the Brett Crawford inmate faces the stiffest test of his career. The plus side is that he is well draw on his peak run and shoulders a handy galloping mass. His yard has had an excellent KZN winter season.

Verdict: Disappointed in last outing, is capable of better, stays well and will be cherry-ripe.

HOLLYWOODBETS Comments:

  • Nebula has been carded to run in Greyville Race 12 (The Daisy Business Solutions Handicap) should he not run in the Durban July. He is currently the 18/10 favourite.
