HOLLYWOODBETS DURBAN JULY LOG  JUNE 10

I think a few coming out and an upset on the cards 

After this week, surely Mucho Dinero and Future Swing will drop out of the Top Twenty - also Magic Verse and Holding Thumbs imo did not do enough to get into the Top Twenty - perhaps Rainbow Lorikeet can sneak in ....

After today, given all the scratching's in the 2nd log and older horses performances of late. I must say, this is forming up to be handed on a platter for top 2 in betting. Its now reaching a point that there are no more horses to consider and it will be selecting 20 horses from 22 or 23.

Its an amazing day when a horse not even on the log, beats a bunch of old and wornout horses and from a merit rating of 106 comes into July at 8-1 third favorite.

If I could run with 57 kgs even i would finish in the top 3, that's how poor this year's field is turning out.

Take 8 on 18 out and do you think there is any horse that could win a grade 3 race in the UK?

After having spent time scruitinizing the entries for the VDJ, this is the least competitive field I have ever seen. Our chart topper is a doubtful starter and at least 15 of the remaining entries are just "hopefuls" of getting a ticket into the race. Panels decision will be more aligned to "Whose the best of the worst" as opposed to the best of the best. Nonetheless, the race must still go on and I really think that an upset is on the cards.
