Sapphire Coast Race 2 - Grand Hotel & Bega Old Boys Plate (C1)
STAR TURN DANCER (9) was third up and broke Maidens over 1650m at Moruya. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Should be ready for the step up to the middle distance and keeps the 1.5kg claim. Looks capable of taking the next step. KING EDWARD (2) last appeared 43 days ago over 2150m at Oakbank this grade and missed by 1.4L. This is his first run for the Matthew Kelley stable and he rates well. Worth plenty of thought. PARTY IT DOWN (5) struggled in the tougher company in town two back but last time did much better finishing a half a length third over 1800m at Gundagai. Meets a similar line-up and should be right in it. SOLAR ORBIT (8) has been racing well over a mile and gives every impression the longer journey will suit. Guymer takes over from the 3kg apprentice and she should go well.

Most recently raced on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 9 at Moruya Bm66 on January 23 over 2000m, 9 len behind Line Of Fire carrying 52.5kg at $16. The run before that second last of 7 at Queanbeyan Bm58 on January 10 over 1600m, 7 len behind Sebastian's Flyer with 57.5kg at $4.60. Happy enough to avoid.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 11 at Gundagai Bm58 on January 2 over 1800m, 0.5 len behind Evokes with 56kg at $3.90. The start before that 8th of 15 at Randwick Highway-C3 on December 20 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Navy Buoy with 52kg at $201. Not far away of late. Back from a 29-day let-up and should prove tough to stop.
