12) ZEITZ
ZEITZ was an impressive winner of the Betgames Cup Trial in early June, which Gary Lemke reckons is a good portent for Hollywoodbets Durban July success. There are some concerns around whether or not he has the staying power for 2200m, but if he stays, he has every chance of featuring when they hit the line. If you don’t enjoy studying form and prefer to pick horses based on their appearance, he’s easy to spot as the only grey in the race.
