FUTURA, joint favourite for the Durban July, and last year’s winner Legislate will meet for the first time since the Queen’s Plate in the Rising Sun Gold Challenge over a mile at Greyville next Saturday.

Legislate was found to be coughing after disappointing in the Queen’s Plate in January and this will be his first race since then as he was withdrawn from the Drill Hall early this month as a precaution after lashing out and hammering the metalwork.
