ASTRONOMIC VIEW
OBSERVATORY - On Tiptoes (Shareef Dancer) b c
Owner: Mr M Sultan
Trainer: Ed Dunlop
Breeder: Limestone and Tara Studs
'A small racey, early 2-y-o type, he's an obvious candidate for your book and I reckon he'll probably start at six furlongs'
Ed Dunlop

'The dam was very fast and the sire has made an above average start. This is an early type and should be a certain winner.'

Hughie Morrison

'I love this filly, I love her attitude and her movement and feel that she slipped through the net at Goffs. Her target will be the Fillie's Five Hundred and at the moment she is still on course!'
David Redvers (Bloodstock Agent)

Owner: Mr Ramsden
