IN LOVE (11) returned last time with a solid second at Balaklava over 5¼f after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with bright prospects. PRODIGAL LAD (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well. STAR GLADIATOR (10) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Grant Young. By Palentino from Star Patriot. Bold showing expected. BOLTONOVA (1) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 22 lengths when 11th over 4½f at Mt Gambier five weeks ago. Nicely placed to get the prize.
