Lambrini Bianco has had a hard campaign but he should be up to the task of seeing off Baloo and Mick Divine. The eight-year-old did not do a lot wrong behind the well-handicapped Sungates and appears to be holding his form well and could be worth another chance. Baloo is completely exposed but appears able to cope with any surface. The step up in trip does not represent too many problems but consistency is not something he is noted for. Ex-Irish Mick Divine should be watched in the market as he hails from a shrewd yard while confirmed fast ground performer, Presence Of Mind appears to have his own ideas about the game. A race that will not take too much to win and Lambrini Bianco has to be the percentage call.
