ATLAS is headed in the right direction after another winning display in the Class 4, Div 3 - 1200m handicap at Kranji here tonight.

The Atlante gelding, who landed unraced back in January, had fought his way to a debut win two months ago.

Against five rivals in a keenly-fought race tonight, ATLAS again emerged tops with a half-length victory.

"I’m never ever confident going into a race. But it was nice to see a young horse like him score such a tough brave win tonight," said trainer Cliff Brown.

"He’s a lovely horse," said jockey Ben Thompson who picked up the ride after Michael Rodd could not make the weight (54kg). "We got to the front a long way from home, but he went through the line really well."
