SUGAR MOUNTAIN built on the encouragement of his 1400m Cape comeback with a fluent 1600m success last month and, given the manner of that performance, is good value to defy a 5-point penalty by following up off a career-high mark. RAPIDASH and SACHDEV are held on that form and unlikely to turn the tables on the same weight terms. Stablemate PACAYA is closely matched with the selection on the form of their 1800m meeting in the Grade 2 Premiers Trophy earlier this year, so should pose a threat. LOVE IS A ROSE and FLOWER OF SAIGON are weighted to make their presence felt.
