GOING: S

Race 11 1600m

Track: SOFT      

Solid tempo with Atlantis leading from Esprit Bokuchan and Ramri Keti. ATLANTIS (3) was prominent from the outset when second over 2000m at Urawa last time out. Strike rate this course and distance is impressive. Has the speed to be prominent. Likely to feature. HOLLYWOOD HILLS (10) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh. Nicely placed to bounce back. NEO TOKIO (6) progressed nicely last start when he worked home well to finish a close second at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. WIN RESERVE (2) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fourth here. Worth including.
