Verdict

Saeed bin Suroor has a fine strike-rate on Town Moor, especially with two-year-old runners, and GREAT IMAGE may prove good enough in a field of newcomers. He’s a January colt who should be well forward and any strong support in the betting would boost confidence. Mountain Dreams represents last year’s winning yard and Mark Johnston’s horses are in good form while Taxiwala is a half-brother to a winning sprinter and hails from another in-form stable. Both Red Reflection and Ocasio Cortez have entries in valuable sales races and the 160,000gns purchase Galactic Glow is related to four winners.
