Dancing Gemini raring to go on Marois return

Roger Teal’s Dancing Gemini will head to the Prix Jacques le Marois a fresh horse as he looks to regain the superb form shown earlier in the term.
The son of Camelot won the Doncaster Mile on debut and followed up with a Group Two win in the bet365 Mile at Sandown under Rossa Ryan in late April.
He was then narrowly denied when beaten only half a length by Lead Artist in the Lockinge, but that streak of smart performances came to an end when he could only finish eighth in a slowly-run renewal of the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot.
The Marois, a Group One event run over a mile at Deauville on Sunday, is his next port of call, with Ryan taking the ride for the first time since Sandown.
“He’s very well, we’re really happy with him. The Prix Jacques le Marois is the plan now,” Teal said.
“The pace of the race at Ascot was a farce, really, and he probably had a tough enough race in the Lockinge and it took the edge off him.
“The pace was pretty disappointing for a Group One and it turned into a sprint at the end, it was probably a combination of a tough race in the Lockinge and then no pace.
“We’ve freshened him up now, Ascot was his fourth run of the year so he’s had a busy time.
“It was nice to give him a little break after that, we’ve freshened him up and we’ll hopefully regroup.”
