Zapatillas has become the incumbent Hollywoodbets Durban July topweight.  Image: Wayne Marks

 
Saturday’s racing had an impact on the Gr 1 Hollywoodbets Durban July picture and the weights underwent a minor change.
 
Zapatillas was awarded a 126 merit rating after finishing 3,10 lengths behind the line horse, the 132-rated winner Charles Dickens, and that meant he became the new July topweight.
 
Trip Of Fortune, rated 127, later usurped him as topweight when supplemented. 
 
Safe Passage and Do It Again both ran unplaced and were lowered one point to 123 and three points to 121 respectively.
 
The previous weight structure changed at the top by just 1,5kg at the publications of the weights on Tuesday.
