BUDDONG (11) missed the frame but not disgraced in town when fourth in the LR Tasmanian Oaks at Launceston. Returns to home track this time. Will find this easier. Better placed this time and is a genuine threat. ZAKU (8) improved last time out, finishing a neck from the winner in second at the end of 7f at Pakenham after being in contention on the turn. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. SUBRISING (10) settled well back last start and never threatened when 6 lengths from the winner in ninth over 6f at Sandown-Lakeside. Won't find this as tough so she is a major player. KING'S CAPITAL (3) finished second when resuming two runs back at Pakenham then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.3 lengths as favourite over 7f141yards at Geelong. Likely to be in the finish again.
