Winning Form – Magic Tips Comment:
Trainers Robbie/Shannon Hill are fortunate to have snuck their entrant CAMPHORATUS into the Durban July with the scratching of MAGNIFICENT SEVEN coming into play. This daughter of Byword is a Grade 1 winner having won the Empress Club Stakes and wasn’t disgraced when she stayed on strongly in the WSB Greyville 1900 to only be beaten a length at the wire by EYES WIDE OPEN. Robbie Hill will have fond memories of having won this race on El Picha in 1999 and it is intriguing that their four-year-old filly is the stables only runner on the day.
