Atalanta Bay has been off the track for more than 12 months and has never won on Turf but a market move would be interesting is a race like this. Taste The Wine is a regular here but is now ion the veteran stage. Tsundoku and Franny Nisbet are recent winners but have higher marks to overcome today. Leapt should be suited by a first try over 2m but ARISTOCRACY has run well twice over hurdles since finishing fourth Tsundoku here in July. He’s now 9lb better off and can turn the tables. Master Dancer was third here in May but ran a shocker on his only subsequent start.
