Yalla to take charge ahead of Meddlesome at a solid tempo. YALLA (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but finds her race second up. Nice return when sitting on the pace before tiring to run second over 1200m at Port Macquarie. Strips fitter and placed on a slow track. Goes close with the claim. RESURRECTED (2) comes here in peak condition and wasn't far away when second over 1200m at Ipswich on April 21. In leading yard and shapes as a serious threat. OUR SPARKY (9) starting to put it all together now and handles the conditions. Gets a nice drop in the weights today and will take stopping from the draw. FOOLS PLAY (6) has her hoof on the till fifth up after chipping away in the going when third over 1200m at Tuncurry. Down in weight and extra trip suits. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,2,9,6.
