Race 1 No.1 Sugar Coat
This Peter Moody and Catherine Coleman trained horse by Exceedance has been competitive in all his three lifetime starts. After winning a Pakenham maiden over 1100 metres on August 30 he followed that up with a win at Seymour over 1200 metres in a benchmark 68 handicap. Last start he stuck to his guns well just going down to Ndola at Sandown over 1400 metres. He gets an important jockey change with Ben Melham taking the reins and although drawn wide, he will push forward and looks very hard to beat. I am making him the best bet of the day at Caulfield, at around $2.60.

Race 4 No.4 Hurry Curry
This Danny O’Brien trained Ocean Park filly is progressing through her grades well and deserves a chance at Group 3 level. She was a good winner at Flemington last start over 1800 metres and the step up to 2000 metres looks ideal for her. She is versatile enough to race handy or sit back so jockey Jye Mcneil can assess the early pace and decide where he would look to position the filly She looks great value at around the $4.60.
