It should pay to get to Greyville early on Friday afternoon as the Justin Snaith pair of Do It Again and Made To Conquer, first and second respectively in last year’s Vodacom Durban July, will be put through their paces.
The gallop will take place at approximately 16h00 and the two will start from the 1400m mark.

This year’s Charity Turf Challenge sponsored by Track & Ball Gaming kicks off a few hours later at the same meeting with a fantastic card headlined by The Independent On Saturday Gr2 Drill Hall Stakes.
Friday’s meeting benefitted from the transfer of the four feature races scheduled for last Sunday’s meeting at Scottsville.
This means that CTC entrants now have a feast of runners to choose from, starting in Race 2 with the running of the Listed In Full Flight Stakes at 17h30 when the competition officially closes.
Don’t forget to pay special attention to the runners on Turffontein’s finale the following day, featuring the Premier’s Champion Challenge and a host of other top class feature races. And, whilst the Cape’s Winter Guineas has already been run, the Winter Classic and Derby are potential point scoring opportunities.

An exciting rematch between One World and Vardy is on the cards, and it’s hard to ignore Glen Kotzen’s, Herodotus, who will appreciate the step up in trip.

Look out for Sheila De Villiers and Mandy Hughes CTC stand next to the parade ring and Melinne Nathram in the Members/Durban View Room.
