FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - On start two for Chantal Regalado-Gonzalez, John Murrell and Joseph O’Brien, DANCE JUPITER looks the one. For 275,000 guineas the Kingsbarns gelding joined the O’Brien yard last October. Off a 343 day break the four-year-old ran a cracker at Galway on September 8th to finish second, beaten three parts of a length by Teed Up. Some will be against him on handicap debut off 92, but Dance Jupiter will do for this observer at least, as there’s the promise there for plenty more to come. He has an entry in the Balmoral Handicap at Ascot next month too. Elsewhere the list of alternatives is probably headed by very promising three-year-old Carrytheone.
