Lots of speed predominantly from Sweet Cheval, Estrapaz and Anchor Down. SUGAR COAT (2) resumes for a leading stable and is promising. He's been fancied - and raced well - in rich contests, but has had throat surgery since last seen. He's jumped out well, and the early markets suggest he's ready to go. SNATCHED (8) resumed at Cranbourne and looked a run short. She has plenty up her sleeve and is proven second-up. She's also in good hands and is a threat. PREVAILED (3) was back to his best when narrowly missing at Kyneton second-up. He races forward and will take some stopping. ESTRAPAZ (1) resumed in stronger and needed it. He is good second-up, and the 3kg claim brings him into it. ANCHOR DOWN (6) showed better form delivering a Geelong Maiden in good style. Peaks now and keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sugar Coat appeals.
