JJ ATKINS | RUNNER-BY-RUNNER ANALYSIS
1. Cifrado- Should have ran second in the Sires, bunched finished around him and happy to bet around the Sires as a form race.
2. Chrysaor- Ok in the Sires, some hope.
3. Snapback- Tough effort in the SIRES, arguably run of that race. Top 3 chance.
4. Make A Call- Should have won the SIRES, harder here.
5. Congregation- Couldn’t have done much more, respect the camp. Top 4 chance.
6. Tannhauser- On top for me. Huge on the clock last time, trip map and Jock all ticks.
7. Felix The Scat- No.
8. Chevron- Not here.
9. Californian- Looks to get a good map, Top 5 chance.
10. Solidify- Maps well, and could well be the improver here.
11. Purveyor- No
12. King Colorado– Unlikely.
13. Trifling– No
14. Azula– Tough on speed runner, expect she’s in the finish again.
15. Miss Joelene – Top 5 hope.
16. Within Reason– Can’t have.
17. Miracle Of Love– Best roughie, looks very progressive and a great EW chance.

BETTING STRATEGY
Happy to bet around the QLD Sires form. Hard not to love the way #6 TANNHAUSER hit the line last time. Gets a better map, better jockey and the 1600m looks very suitable.
