Florino and Cambourne to take up the running at a strong tempo. FLORINO (5) was forty-seven days between runs when he led for the judge but weakened late to miss the placings over 1400m at the Kensington track last start. Down in grade, back to his pet distance, and strips fitter so this looks the perfect assignment. BJORN IRONSIDE (8) has been racing well in open sprints, particularly two back when edged out at Casino over 1000m. Goes well here at this trip so he poses a significant threat. RHYTHM IS A DANCER (2) raced wide and did a good job to battle of for second recently over 1400m at Dubbo. Yet to miss the placings in five runs at this trip and is the winner of three from five at Tamworth. Has the right credentials. WANDA RIVER (9) resumed with a barnstorming win over this distance at Quirindi. Up in grade but he is a very honest sprinter drawn to advantage. STAFFA (10) went okay in town last start and should be peaking at the third run back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Florino on top in a competitive sprint.
