Newcastle trainer Paul Perry’s acclaimed 3YO sprinter Choisir is back on track to run in the Gr1 July Cup (6 furlongs) at Newmarket in England on July 10. The colt was set to enter UK quarantine on July 18 before returning to Australia, but Perry told racenet.com.au yesterday that Choisir will now run in the July Cup: “He’s done so well after his last run & really he’s just marking time until quarantine, so we thought why not? Shannon (Perry’s son) is still with him & he’s having a great time over there, he’s really enjoying it! I’ll head back there as well for the race, so hopefully we’ll be cheering him home again in 10 days time.” And fellow part-owner Terry Wallace confirmed to Brisbane radio station 4TAB: "He can't go into quarantine until July 18, he's done well & he's there. So he might as well run." Shannon Perry (supervising the colt's training at Geoff Wragg's Newmarket yard) told racingpost.co.uk overnight: "I've just been told we're running & to get the horse there the best we can. . . He is a bit tighter & more race-fit as the July Cup will be his 3rd run back. Johnny Murtagh will ride him again & I'm hoping to win. I don't know what else he needs to do now to prove his (European champion sprinter's) title, the others are going to run out of races to catch him soon."
