Vodacom Durban July favourite African Night Sky has been installed 4-1 favourite with the sponsors for the World Sports Betting 1900 at Greyville on May 19 when the Justin-Snaith four-year-old will be ridden by Anton Marcus for the first time.

It’s My Turn, equal third in last year’s race when trained by Snaith but now with Dean Kannemeyer, shares second favouritism on 8-1 with the Mike de Kock-trained Cascapedia whose three-race winning run came to an end when she finished only tenth behind Nother Russia in the Princess Charlene Empress Club Stakes.

Tilbury Fort, second in last year’s 1900, is a 25-1 chance this time and last season’s third Mr Winsome is one of the real outsiders at 45-1. Elusive Silva, fifth last year and another Snaith entry, is quoted at 18-1.
