Cobram Race 4 - Central Murray Credit Union Cobram Trotters Cup

HEPHAESTUS PHOENIX (6) scored two runs back before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 2080m at Cranbourne, beaten 2.5 metres into second after being handy all the way. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. KINGS GUARD (5) settled well back at his most recent outing with a sustained effort and scored by 6 metres in a nice return to form at Bendigo over 2150m. Go again in an even contest. BERRIESANDCHERRIES (7) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 1720m at Melton. BLUE COMAN (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Echuca over 2530m. Something for the Multiples: BLUE COMAN NZ (4)

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Wish Upona Dream at Stawell over 2600m in a No NR on December 1 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Claudy An Gus at Melton over 1720m in a NR 60 to 69 on December 27 at $41. Can play a role in the finish.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr3) over 2080m at Cranbourne, beaten 40 m by Illawong Larajay (2:35.70) in NR 70 to 85 on December 28 at $13. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a head (FT Fr3) at Gunbower (3:24.10) beating Argyle Rocks in No NR on December 8 at $16 at the bell was leading 0.6. Finds a nice race and can improve.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after a quick start, behind Illawong Larajay at Cranbourne over 2080m in a NR 70 to 85 on December 28 at $15. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Johns Boy at Echuca over 2530m in a No NR on January 1 at $4.60. Sure to be thereabouts again.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 5th (Fr7) over 1720m at Melton was 5th-16.57 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Shes Ruby Roo (2:03.50) in No NR M on December 21 at $61. The start before 5th (30m Fr1) over 2630m at Gunbower, at the bell was 2nd-0.6 beaten 4.5 m by Maestro (3:24.10) in No NR on December 8 at $10. Certainly worth another chance.
