ATLANTIC STORM has always looked the sort to do well once getting a handicap mark, having shown promise in some competitive races and has presumably been kept fresh with a spring campaign in mind. The likely drying ground looks in his favour and this isn't the most competitive race in which to kick off his handicap career. Hughesie would be a big threat on old form but Evan williams is a bit quiet at the moment, which tempers confidence a bit. Goal is in a slightly harder race but it's hard to knock his form, and he could go well again too.
