Vodacom Durban July and Rising Sun Gold Challenge winner Legislate heads Justin Snaith’s 20-plus Champions Season team which also includes Cape Derby winner It’s My Turn and talented three-year-olds Black Arthur and Bela-Bela, writes Michael Clower.

Legislate – interestig inclusion
Snaith said: “I have a very strong string for Durban and I am looking forward to it. However I will take very few two-year-olds, maybe only a couple for Durban-based owners. It’s not worth taking them because they end up with very high merit ratings.”

Joey Ramsden
Joey Ramsden, on the other hand, expects to be well represented on the two-year-old front, saying: “I have a nice string of juveniles for Durban although I am a bit short of three-year-olds this time as we have moved some of them on.
“I will be taking 20 horses, among them a number who went to Jo’burg and missed the summer including last year’s KRA Guineas winner The Conglomerate who had a throat infection and has been cut, St Tropez and the Track And Ball Derby winner Disco Al who is still reasonably rated.”
