YALLA (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but did a good job when returning from a break last time at Port Macquarie, finishing second and only a head from the winner at the end of 1200m after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. RESURRECTED (2) wasn't far away last time out, finishing second over 1200m at Ipswich. The extra journey should play into his hands. Poses a serious threat. OUR SPARKY (9) was a narrow winner two back at this track then in the placings last time at this track. Nice weight drop for this. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from six outings. One of the main contenders. FOOLS PLAY (6) fought on for third last start over 1200m at Tuncurry, beaten 3 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Likely improver with strong prospects.
