Two Justin Snaith inmates, Pomp And Power and Double Superlative, have both shortened in the Hollywoodbets Durban July market after good performances in Saturday’s WSB Guineas.
“One has to say that was a good trial by Double Superlative given his shocking draw and we have trimmed him into third favourite with Safe Passage at the same price. Marcus knows how to win the July so that’s something we’ve also considered,” said bookmaker Lance Michael on Monday. Marcus travels to the Vaal on Tuesday for just one ride — Sean Tarry’s filly, Whatyouwaitingfor, who is sure to start a hot favourite in the fourth race.
Tarry introduces a well-bred two-year-old in Future Pearl in the first race. The market needs checking with regard to this son of Futura, who cost R525,000 as a yearling. Calvin Habib has been booked for the ride.
