The Conglomerate, as short as 7-1 for the Vodacom Durban July, bids to become the third consecutive KRA Guineas winner to land the Daily News at Greyville on Saturday and Joey Ramsden believes his horse will be ideally suited to the trip.

He said yesterday: “The Conglomerate is bred to get ten furlongs and this is what he has been crying out for. He should run well but whether he is good enough is another question.”

Dual Grade 1 winner Inara is a 50-1 chance in the July betting and Mike Bass reports her in fine form for the Woolavington but he is understandably afraid of Majmu.

Bass, successful with Sun Classique eight years ago, said: “Inara ran second to Majmu  in the Avontuur Cape Fillies Guineas and whether she can do any better over this longer trip I don’t know. She is in good shape but if she again ran second I would probably be happy enough.”
