Verdict

ARCHER'S GAME (4) is an honest campaigner who has hit the top-five in 11 of her past 12 starts and is usually thereabouts. Has placed two from two around this circuit, draws low and gets 3lbs off. Ticks a few boxes. THE SHAMAN (5) grows a leg for hoop Pointon who has two wins and two placings from just four steers. Again gets the benefit of her 9lbs claim and rates a serious candidate. HAYSIRI (9) has placed at his past three outings when well in the betting and where there's smoke there's fire. In the mix. ALL I WANT IS YOU (3) has won three of his past five including one around this track. Can feature in the finish again. TYPHOON TIP (12) next best with Graham on board.
