Patinack Farm J.J. Atkins (G1)

Age: 2yo Type: OPEN

Romantic Touch was quickly away and went straight to the lead from his good barrier (2). He travelled along kindly, setting a reasonable tempo (first 1000m 60.73), before grabbing a break at the 200m. He then fought back particularly well for a strong half length win, stepping up suddenly from a last start midweek win to score at Group One level. Zoustar, previously unbeaten in three starts, began well and was eased to race in third spot on the rails. He was held up for a run, until Jim Cassidy eased across heels at the 300m. He then kept running on gamely, gradually making ground for second, beaten half length, putting up a very honest performance. Paximadia, racing in blinkers for the first time, raced outside the leader most of the way, he challenged strongly at the 200m and kept fighting on well for a good third. Vilanona was midfield and trapped three wide without cover, and gradually moved up to be about fifth (still wide) at the turn. He then fought on well for fourth, beaten two lengths and putting up a good effort. Global Dream was midfield to the 600m, but was blocked at the 300, before making ground late for a very promising fifth, beaten two and half lengths. Octane Flyer made good ground for sixth while Sir Moments was midfield on the rails and battled on, along the rails, for seventh. *ANZ
