Telltime is given the vote with Divertimenti and Sohraab both worthy of mention. The selection has run well on both his outings to date finishing second twice. The fact that he was a beaten favourite last time out is however slightly concerning as he didn't look to have improved from his debut. Having said that he steps up to the six furlongs today and with that in mind he looks the one to side with this time around. Divertimenti had shown some real promise for Jim Bolger back in Ireland and was tried in some competitive races. He is having his first run for Mark Wallace and this is a step down in grade so he is to be noted in the betting market. As is Sohraab who showed encouragement on his debut when finishing mid division in a Windsor maiden in the summer. Once again this looks easier so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Telltime.
