FormscanBy Michael Graham - SEA COAST could be the value bet against the likely hotpot Antique Platinum. Mick Halford's filly was consistently placed in maiden company before getting her head in front at Naas. Afterwards Halford talked of running her in a big handicap and in Listed company before the end of the season. Her run in a big fillies' handicap came on Oaks day at the Curragh when she was fifth to Shanooan who is now rated 95 and contests the Listed race on this card. Sea Coast was beaten just over five lengths in that race and doesn't look badly treated on a mark of 82. Antique Platinum got off the mark in Galway. She drifted under pressure and blinkers replace the visor worn there. Weld commented after that race that she's not an easy ride. She may have to give best to her more experienced rival in this her first venture into a handicap. Caroline Murtagh takes a handy 7lbs off Calorie's back. Effectively racing off 66 she should run a good race. It is worth noting she was beaten under five lengths by Prince Of All in April.
