2025 Gold Cup champion KING PELLES should have every chance of doing it again for his connections after running a cracker in the Hollywoodbets Durban July. Lyle Hewitson returns for the ride. NATIVE RULER was only 2.35 lengths behind the top stayer when himself running a gallant race in the Durban July and must have a say. ENFLAME deserves another go at the track especially over this distance. He is an up-and-coming stayer. AHEAD OF THE FACTS beat 2024 Gold Cup winner MASTER REDOUTE in a thrilling Gold Vase, so both need to be taken seriously. More can earn.
