Formscan By Gary Carson - DOCTOR STEINBERG should prove hard to beat despite returning from almost a year off the track. The Doctor Dino gelding ran a nice race when third to star stablemate Kopek Des Bordes when the pair made their debuts in the Tattersalls sales bumper last Easter. Cosmos D’ainay won a point-to-point at Borris House in December and subsequently made 165,000stg at the sales. He’s an interesting rival. Gavin Cromwell’s newcomer Artsncrafts is another to note in the market. The Flat-bred Mastercraftsman gelding makes a belated debut at the age of six and is a half-brother to Impact Warrior, who was placed in the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks.
