PUNTERS had gone cold on Sweet Idea even before the's barrier draw for the $1 million MM Guineas and her double digit gate cemented the view she faces a task on Saturday.

Before the draw, corporate bookmaker sportsbet.com.au said Sweet Idea was only seventh in order by volume of money invested on the race.

After coming up with barrier 15, the belief she faces a task at 1400m has been accentuated.

Money has been solid for Sweet Idea's stablemate Northern Glory, with Tommy Berry's booking giving the perception - right or wrong - that she is the number one seed for Gai Waterhouse.

Instead, money is rolling in for Jason McLachlan's Enquare, who usurped Sweet Idea for favouritism after coming up with gate two.

McLachlan has had unwavering faith in Enquare this preparation and draws comfort from her versatility and ability to handle all conditions.

"She can adapt to whatever the situation is," McLachlan said.

"If the track is like it was on Saturday and you have to get back and come out wide, then she's more than capable of doing it.

"If the rain comes, well, she's had one go on the heavy for one win.

"Her work was just what you wanted to see (yesterday) and I couldn't be happier."

Damien Oliver, who "won" the beach gallops against Tim Bell, Bernadette Cooper and Tegan Harrison preceding yesterday's Surfers' Paradise draw, is going to need all of the magic that has swept him back to the top of the tree this spring.

Oliver's Guineas mount Salute To Jude drew 19, as did his 2YO Classic mount Nordic Empire.
