Justin Snaith has scratched Warrior, One Way Traffic and Native Tongue from the 2022 R5 million Gr1 Hollywoodbets Durban July.
This reduces the entry to 33 in advance of final declarations which are due at 11h00 on Monday 20 June.
Snaith still has a powerful sextet to carry the Cape stable’s flag in their bid to win the premier race for the sixth time.
With two reserve positions available in the final field, a maximum of eighteen runners will line up at the 2200m marker for the 126th renewal of Africa’s richest graded stakes race.
The announcement of the final field and barrier draws will take place on Tuesday 21 June and will be broadcast on GallopTV and Racing 240.
All runners are required to participate in public gallops scheduled for Hollywoodbets Greyville on Thursday, 23 June.
