11) NOTE TO SELF
NOTE TO SELF has been tipped to enjoy the rise to the 2200m on offer at the Hollywoodbets Durban July. He was running on to finish second in the Lucky Fish Cape Derby back in February and stayed on well when finishing third in the Daily News 2000. Richard Fourie takes the ride, which should tell you everything about his chances. This is also his third run after a rest, so he should be fit and ready to go.
