Hat-trick seeking Do It Again tops the initial log for the 2020 Vodacom Durban July which will be run at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Saturday 25 July 2020.
Apart from Do It Again, all of Rainbow Bridge, Vardy, Soqrat and Hawwaam boast an official rating of 130+ and these occupy the next four positions on the log which was issued by Gold Circle today.

A total of 52 entries were received at the first stage and the log identifies the top 20 with the next five listed in alphabetical order.
With a number of critically important features due to be run over the next few weeks, the log could be subject to significant change and will be updated during the first week of July.
Three year olds Golden Ducat and Gotthegreenlight have cemented their places in the Vodacom Durban July line-up courtesy of their respective victories in the Cape Derby and SA Classic.
