16) MINOGUE
MINOGUE was given a peach of a ride by Muzi Yeni in the Lucky Fish Woolavington. The brave mare led from the start but was pipped by a short head at the line by WISH LIST. She jumped at 16/1 in the Woolavington. Gavin Lerena may well be tasked with leading the pack come Saturday in a bid to hold off the 18-strong field. She also produced one of the more eye-catching performances at the gallops – definitely one at a big price to keep an eye on in the 2026 Hollywoodbets Durban July.
