Cosmopolitan and Spandeedo can be prominent. SPANDEEDO (1) can overdo it in his races as he still has a lot to learn. He has won 2 of his 4 starts on natural ability, and will only get better with more racing. He meets some handy types here, but is still the one to beat. PLATINUM DIAMOND (3) won the Listed Castletown Stakes here just over 5 weeks ago to make it 2 wins on the bounce. The space between runs is a query, but Lisa Latta usually has her team ready to run when they make the track. The hat-trick beckons. ACCENTUATE (4) took care of her maiden rivals comfortably by over a length when making her debut there 5 weeks ago. She loves the mud, and can go right on with the job here. RECONVENE (2) was a sound runner-up behind the top pick in the same race last time out. He is a tough gelding who will pick up his first win at short notice. BRUTIFUL LASS (5) finished a game third behind the second pick last time out. She has more to offer, and is worth including in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: A good field and Spandeedo is destined for some richer racing this year. On top.
