Dean Kannemeyer will wait until the day before the race before sending Vodacom Durban July winner Power King to Johannesburg for the Sansui Summer Cup on November 28

He said: “I have done this before from Durban and I will arrange the journey so that he arrives there in the afternoon that Friday.”

Kannemeyer was delighted with the five-year-old’s prep in the 1 200m Pinnacle at Greyville ten days ago and understandably so with the gelding running on strongly over a trip too short for him to finish a length and a half second to Flyfirstclass.

He said: “That was a very nice run and he won’t run again in the meantime – one gallop is all he now needs. Of course he has quite a bit of weight to carry but I am very happy with the horse.”
