2023 Durban July Entries
Leading the way in the betting for this year's Durban July is Charles Dickens, who's unbeaten record came to an end in the King's Plate, where Candice Bass-Robinson's star was nabbed on the line by Al Muthana. Fellow three-year-old Cousin Casey sits second in the betting following his a decent run when fifth behind Jet Dark in the Cape Town Met.
Pomp And Power came through to finish third in the Cape Town Met and he sits prominently in the Durban July betting. As do both Puerto Manzano and Safe Passage, who finished first and second in the Summer Cup at Turffontein back in November.
Defending champion, Sparkling Water has struggled for form since and Mike de Kock's star can be backed at 16/1 with Hollywoodbets. Justin Snaith's Rockpool has been well-backed since his victory in the Politician Stakes. Premier Trophy winner Rascallion sits just outing the top five in the market.
Zapatilas was forced to miss last year's Durban July after a set-back on the day of the race, but he looks set for a run this time around. Other possible runners include East Coast, Royal Victory, Golden Ducat and Union Square.
