Strong early tempo with Spencer's Spirit and More Mischief leading the way. PLACID PEARL (9) ran a nice race when resuming at the end of February at Goulburn running on from well back. In the market there and fitter for a subsequent trial win. Must be respected. MORE MISCHIEF (6) will find this a bit easier than his last couple and go on handy thrid at Golburn three runs back. Likely improver. AIRLINER (11) doesn't win often but he's always running on and getting back to 1400m suits. Always an each-way chance. MEGA FIGHT (5) and HELLO JACK (4) are among the chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Placid Pearl to win.
