The fact that David Gandalfo has been selective in finding the right race for Rooster's Reunion is clue enough for him to be given the nomination and the Terry Warner-owned gelding is preferred over Migration and Galey River. The last mentioned was highly tried in a valuable handicap at Market Rasen last month - where he was far from disgraced in finishing towards the rear of a good quality field. This is more his grade and he can go well for each-way thieves looking to clip a little corner out of the market. Migration also ran in that same race and is another that should appreciate the ease in competition. However, Rooster's reunion looks to be a far more progressive and reliable proposition today and, with conditions to suit, this highly regarded gelding can get his season off to a flyer today.
