Moreira to ride Euro Charline in Dubai Turf

Team Valor has revealed that Hong Kong-based ace Joao Moreira will partner Euro Charline (GB) (Myboycharlie {Ire}) in the G1 Dubai Turf. The Marco Botti trainee was last seen under Ryan Moore when winning the G1 Beverly D S., yet the British hoop is likely to be requested on board Kevin Ryan’s dual Group 1 winner The Grey Gatsby (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) in the 1800-meter turf contest. 

‘Magic’ Moreira enjoyed a spectacular 2014 World Cup night, winning both sprint events namely the G1 Al Quoz Sprint with Ricky Yiu’s Amber Sky (Aus) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) and the G1 Golden Shaheen with John Moore’s Sterling City (Aus) (Nadeem {Aus}). The former returns this year to defend his title, and in a symmetric move will be associated to Ryan Moore after Moreira elected to ride fellow Hong Kong raider Bundle Of Joy (Aus) (Magic Albert {Aus}) in the race.
