Justin Snaith comments for Hollywoodbets Durban July Day.

_Race 1_
- Song to the Moon has travelled well to KZN and is not without a place chance as he makes his Polytrack debut.
- Magma Magic looks the value bet in the opener at 10-1.

_Race 2_
- Please Be True is in great shape, has drawn well and, with Keagan de Melo aboard, should go very close.
- World Of Our Own also looks like value at 12-1.

_Race 3_
- Magic Verse has come to hand at the right time. He’s capable of causing an upset in an open race.
- Field Marshall looks a sneaker at 10-1.

_Race 4_
- Ahead Of The Facts’ last run was outstanding and eye-catching. If he has some luck from a wide draw, he’ll be the one to beat.

_Race 6_
- The Cullinan has settled beautifully in KZN and has an each-way chance at 14-1.
- Vibe Check will be the danger.

_Race 7_
- Regulation’s first four starts after his wind operation were outstanding, bar his last run where everything went wrong. He’s an incredibly well-weighted horse and, from draw No. 2, cannot be left out of any bets.
- Legal Counsel keeps improving and has earned his top weight. He has a mountain to climb, but he’s as game as they come. The weights are stacked against him, but he’s not without a winning chance. If they let him go his own tempo out in front, he’ll be a hard horse to peg back.
- Wish List beat the colts in the Gr1 Cape Derby and she goes for five in a row. She doesn’t like losing and will fight it out. She is a star in the making and is the one to beat.
- Native Ruler was unlucky in this race last year but showed he is very much up to this level. He’s not without a chance with the in-form Keagan de Melo aboard. He’s worth including in all bets, particularly if the race is run at a true pace.
- Note To Self didn’t run his race in the Gr1 Daily News, but that has worked in his favour as he is now better off at the weights. This race has always been his main mission and he’ll be right in the shake-up. He’s back to his best and is in with a huge shout. Richard Fourie has serious BMT and knows how to win Gr1 races.

_Race 8_
- Double Grand Slam has nothing more to prove and was unlucky in her recent Gr1. She’s been tremendous this season, having already won two Gr1 races. She’s undoubtedly the horse to beat if things go her way.

_Race 9_
- Great Plains loves Greyville but does prefer 1400m. He’ll need things to go his way from a wide draw.
- Jet Force looks like the dark horse in the race at 20-1.

_Race 10_
- Landoftherisingsun landed the plumb draw which will be a considerable advantage. He’s worth including in all exotic bets.
- ⁠~Powerandtheglory takes no part~

_Race 12_
- Clair De Lune is absolutely flying and will take some beating.
