Sapphire Coast Race 4 - Keeplan Planning & Development Mdn Plate
HARD SHELL (8) massive effort on debut when closed late at the big odds for a respectable sixth over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Looking for extra trip and no excuses in this very average race. ALAMAGAN (6) best effort in three career starts when he closed late to run fourth over 1200m at Canberra. This looks a weaker race and capable of testing some of these. CREATOR OF WORLD (7) comes back a level today after disappointing in two runs on the provincial tracks. Poorly drawn and not without each way claims. BELLEISTIC BONNY (11) went back from the wide draw on debut when a plugging sixth over 1200m at Nowra. Gets a better set-up for this and look for a major form reversal.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Churchill out of Espelette. At the most recent trial finished fifth at Canberra over 900m. Blinkers go on for debut and must be kept safe.

Last start ran last in a small field at Beaumont (Newcastle) Super 4yo+ MDN-Sw on December 13 over 1350m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Cuesta with 57kg at $151. The run before that eased back early on 8th of 11 at this track Mdn on December 1 over 1200m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Casino Shaw with 56kg at $91. Hard to recommend.

Second-up. First start ran last of 14 at Moruya Ctry Mdn-Sw on July 21 over 1310m, slow going 10 len behind Beauty Dash carrying 53kg at $17. Returned from break second last in a small field at Queanbeyan Mdn on December 18 over 1200m, 7 len behind Bourbon Queen with 56kg at $8.50. Will need to improve sharply to be any chance.
