Trip To States

J: R Fourie

T: C I Jonker

Still searching for his first win after nine attempts; beaten 5l when fifth of ten but didn't run badly at 8-1 (this distance Vaal Classic, maiden plate) five weeks ago; easy to see him making an impression as has shown signs of promise

Found life tough when 8l back in eighth in a maiden plate at Vaal Classic last month (dropped back to 5f); work to do with the runner-up, Mary's Greenlight, on that showing; may be vulnerable

Beaten just over 3l when fifth of 11 but didn't run badly at 100-1 in a maiden plate at Turffontein Inside latest; a next-time-out winner advertised the form; yard in good form and no surprise to see him go well

THE OCTAGON is a firm choice. He is running for just the second time with a few of his rivals looking more exposed. Trip To States is possibly starting to look exposed while Mary's Greenlight will attract market support, and John Wick should be on the shortlist.
