Verdict

WINNING ALL ROUND (6) is desperate to break through after missing by bare margins in his first two starts. Peaking now and doesn't need to improve much to get the job done this time. MINIMISE (11) was well fancied last start over the mile at Strathalbyn when third. Strips fitter third-up, though will need a smart steer from the wide gate. ME NAME'S BORIS (1) warmed nicely late when resuming last time at Strathalbyn. Is sure to have come on from that and is drawn kinder this time with Pannell taking over. Is a likely improver that can make his presence felt. SWEET KICK (9) finds it tough to break through but is one to keep an eye on late in the piece if they overdo it early.
