Call Out and Atomic Gozen can lead the small field. ATOMIC GOZEN (5) is still a Maiden but peaks for the sharp Vandyke yard off a narrow defeat at Eagle Farm. Has a low gate and the blinkers on for the first time, and this isn't hard. WATERMELON (2) has been mixing trips and wasn't disgraced, beaten 3.3L at Doomben over a mile two weeks ago. He has a strong record at this venue and, back in grade, finds a winnable assignment. SLY CORNER (1) has been racing in stronger and three back just missed in a 65 here on the turf. Draws low, and a 2x winning rider replaced the apprentice. CALL OUT (4) is busting to win, and the extra metres help. Maps for the run of the race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Atomic Gozen.
