Verdict
GAMES PEOPLE PLAY made a promising debut when third at Goodwood last month and is preferred to Mohave Dancer and Alacrity who both step up from a mile. The Gosdens’ run a couple of newcomers to note with Lanfranco, the first foal of a Group 1 winner Coronet, preferred to 370,000gns purchase Peaceful Love. Raheen Rode for the Haggas yard is another worthy of second glance.
