GOING: N

STRONGER @ AQUIS STALLIONS BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1900m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Atomic Gozen leading the way. ATOMIC GOZEN (10) is in the sharp Vandyke stable and deserved the 60 win this track/trip. She draws low again and can control this race as well. He can go right on with the job. SLY CORNER (3) comes out of the same race and just missed, racing handy. He will get every chance to bridge the gap. WATERMELON (4) missed a place in that contest as a $2.30 favourite. Has the rail today and a 3kg claim and may be worth another chance. His effort at Doomben prior reads well enough. CAPITAL BOSS (5) was back in form, beaten 1L here over a mile as favourite in stronger. Gives away starts and will come late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Atomic Gozen.
