Sapphire Coast Race 4 - Bateup Racing Sapphire Coast Cup - Showcase (Bm66)
HARD TO GO WRONG (4) comes up from Sale with an excellent record at this track. Went back from the outside gate and never in contention when tenth over 1600m at Moe. Gives the indication he will get the trip and can return to form with the 56.5kg. FLASHY ICON (3) Canberra-trained stayer holding his form. Strong through the line with the 59.5kg when a slashing second over 1600m at Albury. Leading contender with the key jockey change. JIMMY MANOLO (5) win record hardly excites but gets his chance with the 56.5kg. Chipped away late with the 61kg when fourth over 2100m at Orange. Value chance in a very average contest. PERUNO (6) up quickly in trip from the wide gate with a tiring eighth over 2000m at Moruya. Visors come off and he gets the right run from the draw. BURGUNDY GIRL (2) keep fresh when improved to run third over 2000m at Canberra. Fresh again and gets Brookes' 2kg claim. Don't dismiss.

At the latest run sat on the speed throughout before fading second last of 9 at Moruya Bm66 on January 23 over 2000m, 6 len behind Line Of Fire carrying 57.5kg at $18. Before that 10th of 13 at Moruya Moruyacup Bm91 on January 5 over 1425m, 5.5 len behind Alottosay carrying 51kg at $101. Strips fitter with map favours, each way.

Most recently got back early 3rd in a small field at Wagga Cl2 Bm62 on January 15 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Holy Hell with 58.5kg at $41. The run before that sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at Sunshine Coast Cl2 on November 14 over 2200m, 16 len behind Super Fair carrying 55.5kg at $4.20. Hard to enthuse as he is not too reliable.
