Sapphire Coast Race 3 - Commercial Hotel Bega Mdn Plate
ROSE DIAMOND (9) comes through a good maiden when she was third at her first run for the Matthew Kelly stable. The form has worked out well. Strips fitter and will find this easier. SHOREMAN (4) best performance in three career runs when spearing to the front and holding on to run second over 1200m at Nowra. Poorly drawn again but expected to give a ton of cheek. VIVEK (5) resumed for his second prep when going to the front and boxed on to secure third over 1300m at Moruya. Gets weight relief again with the claim and stays in the calculations. STAR OF THE CLASS (10) has shown improvement at her last two outings and has the ratings to figure in the minor money.

At the latest run sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 at Moruya Cl1-Sw on April 19 over 1650m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Greatestofease with 56.5kg at $10. Before that 5th of 11 at this track Cl1-Sw on April 4 over 1610m, on a wet track; 13 len behind Sacred Mistress carrying 56.5kg at $13. Might struggle again.

Second-up. First start ran last of 10 at Kembla Grange Cg&E Mdn-Sw on October 26 over 1200m, 14 len behind Shelstein carrying 56.5kg at $101. Returned from break sat on the pace before fading 7th of 12 at Kembla Grange Prov Mdn-Sw on April 15 over 1200m, 7 len behind Oui Oui Oui with 58.5kg at $101. Hard to get excited about his chances.

Second-up. First-up after six months led but faded 2nd of 9 at Nowra Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 20 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Alottosay carrying 58.5kg at $9. Previously second-up ran last of 9 at Canberra Ctry Mdn-Sw on October 18 over 1400m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Rileycat carrying 57.5kg at $11. Fitter and is a leading contender.

Second-up. First start 8th of 10 at this track Ctry Mdn on February 2 over 1000m, 6 len behind Southern Deel carrying 59kg at $61. Returned from break 3rd of 7 at Moruya Mdn-Sw on April 19 over 1300m, slow going 2.5 len behind Sensational Wind with 56kg at $31. Likely to hold the good form and play a major role again.

Racing well. Most recently sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at Canberra Mdn-Sw on April 18 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Wild Sensation with 56.5kg at $7. The race before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 13 at Ararat Mdn-Sw on March 4 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Squander carrying 57kg at $3.50. Racing well and can break through this time.
