Hollywoodbets Durban July 2022 Final Field

Rachel Vennikar will ride Red Saxon.

......quite liked the 1st 4 place chance of Puerto Manzano when weighted at 55.5kg.....but see he got 2.5kg lumped for his plodding win on a dead track on the week end.........will now need a rocket pack on his back....

He was not raised ....he earned his 120 in the Gr 1 Premiers....

]Is a draw low really beneficial. Since the field was dropped to 18 in 2015. Only 3 winners out of 7 have come from a draw below 15.
2015 draw 6
2016 draw 18
2017 draw 8
2018 draw 15
2019 draw 8
2020 draw 17
2021 draw 18
Seems like to be drawn on the outside has it advantages of not getting mixed up in all the scrimmaging for spots early on.

......was going off this log where he is already at 120.....

I foresee a scratching in the field.
Will bring the Airways Law into
play.
Can make things more interesting what
with the current airline crisis.

What happened to the panel discussion, or is it being aired later today?

He is carrying 55.5

Hoedspruit does not deserve inclusion ahead of Plattner runner!!

Puerto Manzano is carrying 55.5kgs. That screenshot is from the live announcement. They have made a mistake.
