In depth
Verdict
MARTINEO has been in better form in classified races on the Tapeta lately and was winning a handicap here off a much higher mark last year. Storm Master won over track and trip in October and can figure again while Chifa landed a course and distance double last autumn. Tea Garden is back on a winning mark and makes more appeal than Viewfromthestars of the rest.
