Expecting Roey Clam to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. BORDER CONTROL (1) has made Port Hedland a fortress, winning four on-end, all at this track this campaign. The gelding drops back to 1200m today where he bolted in by 2.3L two starts ago. Maps to get his chance and can extend the picket fence. OREGON HIKER (7) disappointed at Carnarvon last start but was in much better touch prior to that. The draw is a niggle, but he's worth forgiving off one bad run. Can return to form and put his best foot forward. FAMEUX (8) got the job done two back at Marble Bar before going around as favourite last start at Roebourne, being beaten 3.7L. Hard to ignore his recent efforts and the claim sees him nicely weighted. Big chance to go one better. ROEY CLAM (5) is not to be discounted getting back out to 1200m. SUGGESTED PLAY: Border Patrol can win again.
