Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Bellakai. KING'S CAPITAL (3) didn't take long to find winning form, scoring at Geelong over 1530m, proving too strong in a tough win in BM58 grade. Fitter again and maps for every chance from the inside draw. BUDDONG (11) is lightly raced and coming back from the 2100m of the Tasmanian Oaks when running very well for 4th at huge odds. Back in trip off a freshen here, she should run well. ZAKU (8) is going well second in a similar race at Pakenham last time out. Chance off that effort. GENRICHERO (7) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: King's Capital to win.
