19 [4]) CHOISAANADA
CHOISAANADA was elevated into a starting berth following the Tuesday scratching of Star Major. This four-year-old gelding has campaigned exclusively in Gauteng his entire career and will face an incredibly strong field in the Hollywoodbets Durban July on Saturday. His last run was encouraging, running a close second in the Grade 2 TAB Colorado King Stakes. Rachel Venniker takes the ride.
