Dance Jupiter⁴⁷

Weight: 9-8| Age: 5

T: J P O'Brien J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

Forecasts

Wuqood (1/1), Dance Jupiter (7/2), Saltonstall (4/1), Yermanthere (11/2), Agitare (10/1), He Knows No Fear (10/1), Laelaps (11/1), Fastar (16/1), Farid (300/1)

WUQOOD is lightly raced and should have come on for his recent outing after 6 months off. He looks a colt of some potential and should be able to gain a second career win here. Dance Jupiter sets a decent standard and he'll go close too on his best form. Saltonstall isn't out of it either.
