      Verdict

      MAN OF MY WORD made all to beat the re-opposing Flying Pickets four lengths over track and trip last Tuesday. It's hard to see the runner-up reversing running as Scott Dixon's charge is likely to get his own way up front once again. Point At Issue may try taking him on but his win came over 7f here and he may be tapped for toe, while Laura's Bairn hasn't been seen since recording her Fibresand victory in a maiden over 5f back in August. Laffan is an unknown on the surface but could prove the fly in the ointment on his first start since July.
