BELLAKAI (7) started at 3/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 7 lengths at Ballarat over 1m5f. Finds a tougher race but a big run will not surprise. BUDDONG (9) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1m2f at Warrnambool. Cherry-ripe now and is sure to be about the mark. LAVISH THINKER (6) did well last time to finish fourth over 1m3 1/4f at Morphettville Parks. The extra journey should play into his hands. Likely to play a major role. WHATSANAMEGEORGE (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1m3 1/4f at Morphettville Parks after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so he can feature again.
