Verdict

RUSTIQUE's runs on Turf so far have left a bit to be desired and recent placed efforts on the all-weather have been over further but this is such a modest heat that she gets a tentative vote. Artbeat and Gulland Rock are both entitled to be thereabouts if in the mood while Altaira looks a better bet than stablemate Zeteah. Storm Runner has won eight times but never on Turf which is why he is rated almost a stone lower on this surface.
