13) MOCHA BLEND
MOCHA BLEND’S crowning achievement came in December last year when she won the Betway Summer Cup at a massive price of 100/1. Of course, she meets a far stronger field here. She hasn’t set the world alight since then, however, but this will be her third run after a rest, and she should be peaking when the gates crash open on Saturday for the Hollywoodbets Durban July.
