THEBUDGIESMUGLA (4) won two from four in NZ before arriving in the Bjorn Baker stable. Resumed last start for the new mentor and closed the race off nicely to be beaten under a length over 2000m at Hawkesbury. Gets some weight relief and looks ready for this step up in distance. WAR RIBBON (5) was well backed but after racing up on the speed offered little in the run home over this distance at Warwick Farm last time out. Was only second-up that day so might be worth one more chance. FORMAT (2) stalked the pace then held out the finish of Thebudgiesmugla at Hawkesbury recently. Led all the way to win by 4.5 lengths at Kembla last prep when tested over 2400m. Big chance again. PRESLEY (7) ran on okay in the Format race at Hawkesbury last start when second-up. Has won third-up before so he should be better for that last hit-out. SCOTTISH PEARL (6) led all the way to win a BM82 at Warwick Farm last time. Sure to give backers a sight again.
