FormscanBy Michael Graham - Gordon Elliott's COKO BEACH ought to be a leading contender. He travelled notably well in the prestigious Velka Pardubicka in the Czech Republic in October before unseating four out when still holding every chance. He couldn't land a blow when last seen in a Grade 3 at Gowran Park, but is the highest rated here. Furthermore, he won this race by six lengths last year. Stealthy Tom landed the previous renewal and looks threatening after a third place over this course in November. Vanillier took sixth in November and could get closer in blinkers. Chemical Energy, a stablemate of Coko Beach, is unexposed in this discipline and could feature at the business end.
