20 [3]) CURIOUS GIRL
CURIOUS GIRL starts in the 2026 Hollywoodbets Durban July at the expense of The Ultimate King, who was scratched on Wednesday morning. The Hollywood Racing filly will be piloted by Mickaëlle Michel, who was originally meant to ride the also-scratched Star Major. One thing is for sure, she’ll have no problem over the 2200m trip. She shoulders a light weight and has consistent form on her side.
