CARIBBEAN CORAL has a solid chance of getting back to winning ways. Caustic Wit and Best One may be the biggest obstacles along the way. Best One drops into a seller after struggling in handicaps for a while. The betting market may be a good gauge as to whether his connections feel the move into a lesser grade will boost his confidence. Caustic Wit has been a grand servant and more than paid his way for one of limited ability. Like the selection, he is in the twilight of his career and is very unlikely to pull something out of the fire. However, Caribbean Coral has been tremendously consistent since his sights were lowered and, although nowhere near the force he was, the 10-year-old can be fancied to have enough left to offer for a small punt here
