Verdict

AYE VEE AITCH (2) returns from a spell of seven months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished sixth at Moonee Valley over 6f when first-up last time in work. Will be fit enough for this following a recent trial win and is sure to take some beating. MUSEE DU LOUVRE (5) just ran into one better on debut and will have derived a stack of benefit from that race day experience. In the mix. LILSISTERDON'TCHA (7) has switched yards since finishing eighth three-and-a-half weeks ago over 5 ¾f at Gold Coast Poly. This is easier and can measure up for the new barn. BONEWOOD (4) best of the rest while fresh.
