Verdict

ALL SHOT (3) bounced back sharply to form last start with a barnstorming win at Bordertown. Keeps the 4lbs claimer on to get him in well at the weights and will prove tough to stop with a repeat effort. ROCKTAGON (4) meets All Shot with a 4lbs weight swing in his favour fourth-up after not being able to match his turn of foot last time. Peaking now and can turn the tables. FUSSY AS (1) missed the bob when resuming at Oakbank, then found it a touch too rich for him when up in grade at Bordertown. Better suited back to this level and should give a bold sight in front from a favourable low draw. SUNDOGG (9) doesn't win out of turn but is knocking on the door. Draws sticky but is worth keeping safe.
