See It Again tops the 2023 Durban July betting after winning the Daily News 2000, followed by Winchester Mansion, who has been well supported after his Cup Trial victory, and the Snaith pair Without Question and Pacaya.
PACAYA looks value at 10/1 after being well programmed by Justin Snaith and gets into the race on a competitive mark. Snaith holds the son of Trippi in high regard and they go as far as to say he’s the best-handicapped horse in South Africa.
“We’ve always thought he’s the best-handicapped horse in South Africa. He is peaking, and I need to just tone him down a little bit, and if I get that right, the mixture right, he’s a horse that’s going to be a big runner”, Justin Snaith.
