Hollywoodbets-sponsored trainer Candice Dawson saddles Player in Race 2. He was not disgraced when finishing sixth against winners in his last start over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside course.
The manner in which he stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. He should have no issues with the rise to 1800m and will be cherry-ripe. Back in Maiden Company, he should be the horse to beat.
Higher Purpose from the Kumaran Naidoo stable takes his place in Race 7. He showed very good improvement in his first run for the stable. He set the pace before getting caught late by The Bayou. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The blinkers seem to have done the trick on the son of Vercingetorix and he can return to winning ways.
