Some disappointing types here with Thisismydream, Orinoco River and JARVIS all having high official ratings. The trio ran in a Listed contest over track and trip a month ago with the former coming out best in sixth though the latter wasn't far behind in a race that was won by a stable companion. Colin Keane has elected to ride rather than another from the yard, Obtain, who has shown very good pace in both starts to date and looks the type to do well on this surface. Sacred Territory has also gone well in a couple of strong maidens on Turf and looks to have plenty of scope for further progress.
