SHOT BOII made a winning reappearance over track and trip when coming out best in a scrap to the line. He had a tough race but today’s opposition fail to inspire much confidence. Of those, Kilganer Queen finished closer at Southwell last time without threatening while Big Picture has switched yards since last in action and looks to end a long losing run. Legal Rights has shown little so far this season but could bounce back at any time.
