Koning should be able to comfortably find the front. PLACID PEARL (9) improved in better company at Randwick and then stepped up to 1900m at Canterbury this grade and was narrowly beaten as a $2.70 favourite. Could have had better luck and fourth up she looks well-placed to win. FORMAT (1) just missed in a 72 at Canterbury and then tackled a stronger contest at Randwick and wasn't beaten far over 2000m. He will push forward and Roper's 2kg claim brings him into it. BLUE EYED BRIGID (12) is an improving filly presenting off a narrow defeat at Hawkesbury where she jumped a short-priced favourite. Has an awkward barrier, but the middle distance looks sure to suit. STING IN THE TAIL (4) drops back from two outings over 2400m in tougher grade and had won a 72 this track/trip prior. Lloyd rides today and she will be finishing hard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Placid Pearl appeals most.
