MARK Johnston has an impressive team of juveniles this year and 2/1 favourite Buratino proved much too good for the opposition in the Listed Investec Woodcote Stakes over six furlongs.

Ridden by William Buick, the son of Exceed And Excel could even afford a bump at the start and the loss of a length or two before joining the leaders two furlongs out and storming clear to beat Nelspruit by six lengths with outsider Just Emma third.
