10/3

Forecasts

Divine Queen (10/3), The King's Steed (18/5), Leo Davinci (11/2), Firenze Rosa (11/2), Bonus (10/1), Treble Clef (10/1), Wild Flower (12/1), Holdenhurst (14/1), Keep Believing (14/1), Storm Melody (14/1), Santorini Sal (16/1), Rhubarb (66/1)

Back at 6f and with her jockey's handy claim taken into consideration, DIVINE QUEEN may well reverse recent Salisbury placings with The King's Steed. Indeed, she was beaten under 2 lengths into fourth in that 7f handicap, a race she looked like she might win just over a furlong out. Leo Davinci has slipped to an attractive mark and also enter calculations, while Firenze Rosa has claims, too.
