Verdict

ROCKTAGON (2) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly beaten a head over today's journey at Murray Bridge. Spiked his numbers and will be fitter again. This is a nice drop in grade and he can go one better. SACRED CHORD (9) didn't manage the wide gate in stronger at Gawler. His form prior reads well for this and prefer him back to this distance. Maps better and can make the finish. ALL SHOT (6) is on a 7-day return and is back 1 ½f from the same race. He's been cruelled by wide gates and maps better today. Has a handy 4lbs claim and is runs at Murray Bridge and Balaklava before the latest, stack up. BLACK BUGATTI (4) resumes and has switched from the Jolly-Potter yard. He won his Maiden at Strathalbyn over 6 ¾f first-up last preparation, and his last two starts have been over a mile. Has an inside barrier and the betting should reflect whether he's ready to go.
