Red Sea can lead in the small field ahead of Sugar Coat. NDOLA (4) was well beaten last start but that was off a setback over a trip short of his best so will be better for it and is much better-suited here. Nicely placed in the small field. Big chance. SUGAR COAT (5) rises in grade but has looked a class act in two wins to date. RED SEA (1) brought good form from NZ and probably needs to be forgiven one poor run at what was his first Australian start. RED SEA (1) led and faded fresh but is proven second-up and the small field suits. VIANARRA (8) improved to go under by just a head when second-up so could progress further. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ndola to win.
