They look to roll along early with Exceed The Sky and Formal leading the charge. PUTT FOR DOUGH (1) must go in finding a lower grade of race and being a previous winner at this venue. Should fight this out. BEND THE KNEE (3) got home hard first up over a shorter trip and is always thereabouts. Yet to win second up but finds right race to go close. CES SOIREES LA (5) was never in the race at Canterbury last start but gets a nice drop back in grade and is expected to show good improvement. FORMAL (6) was only narrowly edged out last start at Newcastle and a repeat has him right in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Putt For Dough each-way.
