Vodacom Durban July betting tips
Hawkins facies a relative outsider in Capetown Noir.
"Number 2, Capetown Noir, is my personal choice to win at Greyville this weekend. Capetown Noir, trained by Dean Kannemeyer, is drawn out wide at 15, but likes to come from off the pace," Hawkins said.
Hawkins believes number 12, Halve The Deficit, is also a horse to watch.
"Halve The Deficit represents the Sean Tarry stable and they have won the last two Durban July crowns. This is certainly a horse to keep in mind when considering your betting options. Captain America and Futura also deserve respect," Hawkins added.
He also pointed out that Louis The King and Legislate have drawn most of the bets.
Louis The King was favourite at the time of me writing this article, with Legislate the second favourite and Futura the third favourite.
Capetown Noir was less fancied at 14/1.
I fancy Futura to win, but am by no means an expert.
