Vaughan Marshall stated that his Vodacom Durban July runner Hill Fifty Four was “spot on” for Saturday’s race.
He is also happy with the lesser fancied of his pair Tribal Dance.
“I couldn’t have asked for better,” said Marshall about Hill Fifty Four.
He also declared himself “satisfied” with the four-year-old Captain Al gelding’s draw of ten.
He did feel Hill Fifty Four was a bit harshly treated at the weights, considering he was only receiving 0,5kg from Pomodoro, but said this did not concern him.
Hill Fifty Four’s weight could possibly drop if an appeal regarding his merit rating is heard and upheld this week.
Marshall continued, “He has a lovely temperament and is a big strong horse. He has raced in front before or from off them, it doesn’t really matter where he is in the running.”
