Verdict

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.

Second-up eased back early on 8th of 10 at Scone Cg&E Bm64 on February 6 over 1100m, 6 len behind Zouprince carrying 55kg at $151. Struggling to make an impact lately and others appeal more.
