Forecasts

Martineo (10/3), Spartakos (4/1), Lockdown Lass (11/2), Intoxicata (13/2), Twistaline (9/1), Tea Garden (9/1), Cappananty Con (9/1), Sirius White (10/1), Christines Angel (12/1), Magic Gem (16/1), Poet (18/1), Dodgy Bob (25/1)

MARTINEO has a much more solid recent record than most of these and gets the nod under Connor Beasley, who was on board for last month's Newcastle win. Lockdown Lass is a threat after 2 creditable runs on turf this spring, while it'll be interesting to see how much strength there is in the betting behind the returning Magic Gem, who was in good form at this level when last seen.
