Florino should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. TIME BANDIT (2) found his form when up to this distance at Kembla Grange last time out and from an ideal draw has the chance to go one better. JOLLY GOOD FELLOW (9) is straight off a maiden win but he's showing promise and could give a big sight up on the speed. FLORINO (1) is first-up for a new stable and has performed in better company than this. Drawn well and pay to keep him safe. ACHESON (6) and SCOPICS (8) are better than their recent runs suggest and can be competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Time Bandit to win.
