Storm tackles American St Leger Eye Of The Storm represents the Aidan O'Brien team in the American St Leger at Arlington on Saturday night. The son of Galileo, who is coming off a half-length victory over Roheryn in the Group Three Ballyroan Stakes at Leopardstown earlier this month, will be ridden by Ryan Moore. "Eye Of The Storm takes his racing well, he's a lovely horse, he'll get the trip (an extended one mile five furlongs) and he'll handle the ground," said the trainer's son Joseph. "He likes to have a bit of room in his races. He only has one eye so hopefully he doesn't get bumped around. He's well entitled to take his chance." Dandino goes for back-to-back victories in the race for Marco Botti before following the same programme as last season by going on to Australia, where he was fifth in the Melbourne Cup. He has had just the two runs since then, at Royal Ascot and Newmarket, without troubling the judge. "When he ran at Royal Ascot he needed the run and when we ran him back at Newmarket the ground went too soft for him," said Botti. "Dandino definitely handles the track and we hope he can repeat his form of last year. Frankie Dettori rode the horse in the Hardwicke Stakes last year, so he knows the horse well and he's an uncomplicated ride. If all goes to plan his next target would be the Caulfield Cup and then Melbourne." Moore also teams up with Adelaide for Ballydoyle in the Grade One Secretariat Stakes. "Adelaide ran a blinder out there the last day (when a narrow second in the Belmont Derby) and in another couple of strides he might even have got back up," said O'Brien jnr. "He seems to have come out of that in good form and he's progressing all the time, so we're hoping for a good run." The Ballydoyle team also run Belisarius, the mount of Colm O'Donoghue.
