Mark Johnston has his runners in fine fettle at present and we will take a chance on debutant GREEN AGENDA to be too good for his rivals here, with Floor Show a potential danger. The selection is a colt by Anabaa and should therefore act well on the ground. The sire's progeny are generally decent juveniles and with nothing frightening in opposition we will take him to get it right first time. Floor Show improved slightly from first run to second, both of which have been on fast ground and over 6f. This extra furlong can help elicit some improvement although the ground is a concern. Spinners End is still learning the game and should also be better for the step up in trip and his sire Royal Applause was a winner on good to soft so there is hope he will also act on it. Kellies Rocker should act on the going and find a fair bit more for the increase in trip, while Mimicker should also act on the surface, although this might stretch her stamina a little at this stage and we will take Green Agenda to score.
