GOING: S

Race 12 2000m

Track: SOFT     True  

From the wide alley Atlantis should cross and lead. TOSEN SAMANTHA (7) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 2000m at this track last time. Winning jockey stays aboard and rates a leading contender. MARUKAN BLOND (3) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1650m at Ohi. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Sure to make his presence felt. ODENSHITA (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 2000m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. AVEBURY (4) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1500m at Kawasaki, beaten 3.5 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
