Master Sabina, winner of the last two runnings of the Sansui Summer Cup for Geoff Woodruff, will run in the Vodacom Durban July for only the second time.

Michael de Broglio’s seven-year-old was a 20-1 chance when ninth in last year’s race and this time he will be prepared by Justin Snaith who took over the gelding last week.

Jonathan Snaith said: “He may run first in the Rising Sun Gold Challenge on June 10 for a gallop or go straight to the July.”

Silver Mountain, beaten little more than a head by Alexis in last season’s Tibouchina Stakes, will try to go one better in the Greyville June 10 Grade 2. Candice Bass-Robinson, who will also run her Klawervlei Majorca winner Nightingale in the race, reports that Silver Mountain has settled in well after being sent from Cape Town around ten days ago.
