Strong pace from Yalla, Talana and Auzstar. LOVE CHILD (10) had a two-month break and a change of trainer before her tough all-the-way win last start over this distance at the Beaumont circuit. Failed as a miler under Waller but is being kept to sprinting with Milligan it seems. Can get the job done again. KING LARRY (9) has been about the money all prep without winning, the latest effort a moderate fourth as $2.30 public elect over this trip at Tamworth. That followed a five-week break so he is open to plenty of improvement. SAVILLE STREET (4) switched from the Hayes yard to Terry Evans before his failure last start over 1262m at Taree. Fitter for that run and can improve sharply. IMPERIAL HILTON (3) resumes. Good fresh performer who was going around in better races than this last prep. YALLA (15) resumes. Trialling well and has a decent first-up record. Worth monitoring for market support. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Love Child to win.
