Verdict

ROCKTAGON (1) failed last time in town as favourite but was almost too bad to be true. Much easier this time and gets weight relief with the 7lbs claimer aboard. Suspect she bounces back sharply and gets the job done. GAMADALE INDI (3) was denied by the barest margin first up before tackling a hot BM0-62 at the latest. Freshened with a month and looks a serious threat third up. KISS AND KABOOM (4) rattled home to score last time at Gawler. Has further improvement to come but will need to do it again from the back. SHAME ON SUE (5) was too quick at Swan Hill when leading all the way to shed the tag. This is tougher but she can give another bold sight. DORA AURORA (8) returned with a bang at Clare when making light work of her maiden. Worth keeping safe.
