Verdict

A number of chances. KING ALLA (6) ran a tough race to place at Stawell. Spiked his figures and may sit closer today from a softer barrier. On that effort will be hard to beat. SHAHIN (10) deserved his easy win at the picnics over 1m. This is a bit tougher, but he draws inside and they've booked Meech. Rates well enough and don't underestimate. TOFINO (2) resumes and has looked good in all three Murray Bridge trials. Has the blinkers on for the first time and is likely to come back further improved. A player. TARSHIN (5) has more to offer at a mile and isn't out of it in an open contest at each-way odds.
