One To Watch - Seymour

Mark Smith - Sunday September 15

The debut winner of an 1100m maiden on the Pakenham Synthetic on August 30, Sugar Coat opposed three lightly raced winners over 1200m at Seymour on Sunday, and his win was even more emphatic.

Ridden by Linda Meech for Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman, the 3-year-old son of Exceedance was kept three wide in the early stages before finding cover behind Escarpa. Angled out on the turn, Sugar Coat quickly collared the leading pair and was untroubled to defeat the Blue Point (IRE) gelding Salsa Fellow by two and three-quarter lengths with the Cliff’s Edge filly Escarpa back in third.

“It was a like a trackwork gallop for him in a small but quality field,” Linda Meech said. 

“He still has a bit of learning to do. He is a rig, but that is not worrying him at the moment. He still does a few little things wrong. Racing will help that, and winning will help that.”
