STORMY OCEAN quickened off a slow pace to score over the trip on the Turf track earlier this month. He's making his debut on Dirt but has won at Newcastle and is expected to handle the surface. Street Mood has won two minor handicaps over a mile on Dirt here in recent weeks and ran well when stepped up in grade a couple of weeks ago, staying on nicely and suggesting this trip will suit. He had Legionario and Josephino behind and should confirm the form but United Front, five times a winner in the UK, ran very well in a strong handicap that same day and looks a threat with Oisin Murphy on board. George Villiers has run some cracking races in his time on this track and looked back in a bit of form at Sharjah in November.
