ATOMIC JOHN (7) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 2000m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. PURE DABSTER (5) steps up in trip and is backing up 10 days after finishing third at this track. Good effort last start and is expected to go well again. EMM DAY (2) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 2000m at Palermo, beaten 8 lengths. Has a high cruising speed. Winning claims on best figures. HAPPY ETICO (4) was below his best last time when seventh over 2000m at this track. Well placed and should be in the mix.
