      Verdict

      ARTESIUM is a speculative call against Dontuwishitwereso and Mocha Java. Pat Morris has always held his Haafhd gelding in high regard but his confidence has not been reflected in results. The handicapper has given him a substantial drop down the weights and with the application of a visor and the booking of a promising young apprentice; this appears to be his best chance for some time. Dontuwishitwereso and Mocha Java ran with credit earlier this month. The former now has to carry a 7lb penalty while the latter will be off the same mark. Trans Sonic is better known as a hurdler though he was far from disgraced behind Hint Of Honey in December. Gracie's Gift is back to his best trip so his run behind Charles Parnell can be safely ignored. The others look to have difficult tasks. Plenty of plausible winners and Artesium is our answer.
