BUDJIK BOY (3) finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1m1f at Dunkeld three weeks ago as 11/4 favourite. Steps up in journey. Sure to prove very tough to beat. TEKAPO (6) returned from a lay-off eight days ago when he was beaten 28 lengths into ninth over 7f32yards at Naracoorte. Stepping up a level this time but with added fitness he is right in contention. NAUGHTY ONE (4) finished third at Mortlake two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1m3 1/4f at Geelong, finishing 17 lengths back in eighth after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. RESERVOIR DOG (1) produced another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1m2f at Mornington. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
