GOING: G(4)

LADBROKES J.J. ATKINS - GROUP 1 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 5.82)  

Plenty of pressure with Zoutanium, Meet George and Farnicle leading the charge. The $1 million Group 1 J.J. Atkins. COOL ARCHIE (1) has come back a different animal stringing four consecutive wins together this campaign with Harley being on board for all four victories. The step-up to the mile journey looks ideal and can add a valuable G1 win to his CV. HIDDEN ACHIEVEMENT (8) brings NSW formlines to the table and gets the reliable Waller/McDonald combination. Blinkers go on and looks a top hope. GRAFTERBURNERS (2) strips fitter third-up from the spell and gets Williams on board from a favourable draw. Capable of a big performance. FARNICLE (3) should be able to sit up on speed for Clark and will give backers a sight for a long way. The well-related NAVY PILOT (10) (full to 2xG2 winner Tiz Invincible) rounds out the selections in a competitive edition of the two-year-old feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cool Archie to continue the hot streak.
