It will take a good one to lower the colours of SHOWCASING although there are plenty of representatives from the top yards in the line-up and it will be interesting to see if the likes of Seamster and Demonstrative attract support. John Gosden has a decent record with his juveniles at the track and has run some useful performers here in the past. There's every chance that this son of Oasis Dream is another one as he showed plenty of ability in a Newbury maiden when going down narrowly to a well regarded individual whilst a couple of those in behind have run out impressive winners on their next starts He's certainly the best of those to have seen the racecourse but there are some choicely bred colts in opposition with Azizi, Cansili Star, Demonstrative, Refuse To Tell and Seamster all looking the part on paper whilst Professor John should make up into a juvenile but may be more of a nursery type. Group races are where Showcasing is expected to end up and this is a suitable opportunity to display his talent.
