Winning Form – Comments

South Africa’s most anticipated event has finally arrived.

A true run race is expected with two proven frontrunners PADRE PIO and SILVANO’S PRIDE taking their place.

BELGARION was impressive when winning the WSB 1900 in a false run race last time. He didn’t settle, almost came down at the top of the straight but he showed class and powered away from the rest of the field to secure his place in this race. He didn’t have much luck in getting a good draw, but he has Richard Fourie in the saddle and with a decent tempo that is expected, he should be mowing down the frontrunners in the run down to the line.

RAINBOW BRIDGE doesn’t know how to run a bad race. He showed his class having to set the pace in the Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge last time. He would have come on from that outing and should be at his peak for this race. He is aided by a very good draw and merits healthy respect.

VARDY was never going to enjoy a slow run race last time. He lost a length at the start, but ran on powerfully up the straight. He is another that will enjoy a genuine pace and cannot be overlooked.

DO IT AGAIN is going for the record breaking third Vodacom Durban July win. He is drawn widest of all, but has plenty of class.
