Strong tempo from Florino, joined by Can't Touch This and Get Some Fun following. CAN'T TOUCH THIS (8) has looked good when winning her races, but she can also put in some plain efforts. She resumes from a spell and should be a lot stronger now. A recent quiet trial will help bring her condition along, and if she doesn't need the run, then she can take this out. Follow any market confidence. ANDREA (13) has been performing well in all of his 3 starts back from a spell at metro level. He will find this assignment easier and should go close to winning this. Each-way. THE PICCOLINO (14) fought on nicely to finish runner-up here nearly 3 weeks ago over 1000m, and an extra 200m won't faze him. A wet track is what he prefers, and with conditions to suit, he will run his usual honest race. BE QUIET (3) will find this easier than any of her 4 runs this prep. Expect a form reversal. SUGGESTED PLAY: Andrea each-way.
