Robbie Hill has two runners on Vodacom Durban July day, including the Gr 1 Zulu Kingdom Explorer Golden Slipper contender Queen Of Credit.

He said about the King Of Kings filly, who won her maiden second time out over 1400m at Greyville on May 2 and hasn’t run since, “She hasn’t run for a while but has had two nice gallops and has put in decent work. She has the worst of the draw (18) but she will be running on at the finish. She’s come on big time and we think quite highly of her.”

Var’s Dream (Nkosi Hlophe)

He runs the Var gelding Var’s Dream in the KZN Yearling Sale Million over 1300m. He took off to win at odds of 50-1 on debut over 1000m at Scottsville and Hill said, “He ran an absolutely cracking time first time out so obviously we have a bit of a concern about the 1300m, but if he sees out the trip he will have a good chance.”

He is drawn eleven under Bernard Fayd’Herbe and having come from off them in his first start the yard will be looking to tuck him in.
