Again watch to see if the newcomers don't play a big hand even just for the lead. BIG BUDS (4) had some decent form lines when trained in Queensland and now looks to further this in Adelaide. He was on the pace first time here and battled on as favourite. Worse case gets a cheap run and then needs to finish off. CAZABILLIE (8) comes off running to midfield at Terang. She should be enjoying it at the end of the race. SCOUT'S HONOUR (2) resumes and was around the mark last prep. AIGUILETTE (3) has to be considered off the trial wins. The betting tells there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Watch for support for Aiguilette but Big Buds runs well too.
