Gold Coast Race 2 - Hygain Edge Hcp
FAT FINGERS (4) loves it here around this circuit with two wins and two seconds from just five spins and will be rock-hard fit for this. Drawn to get a cosy run from gate two and should be right there when the whips are cracking. ROGUE BEAR (2) has been plying his trade in tougher Sydney metro company and will appreciate the sharp drop back in grade here. Watch for sharp improvement. HADOUKEN (1) has placed two from three over this distance range and gets a stack of weight relief with the 3kg claim. In the mix. UNDER THE CAP (3) got the job done two back before just missing the placings last time out. Might earn some minor money. ASPEN COLORADO (5) next best.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently 5th of 13 at Ballina Ballinacup on January 16 over 1590m, 5.5 len behind Hurstville Zagreb carrying 57.5kg at $31. The run before that didn't do much in the run home; second last of 8 at Murwillumbah Bm82 on December 29 over 1550m, 6 len behind Cape Crusader carrying 61.5kg at $13. Will be harder to beat this time.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up 10th of 12 at Randwick Bm78 on December 27 over 1600m, 11 len behind Sly Boots with 57kg at $151. Second run from a spell sat on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 7 at Randwick Bm88 on January 24 over 2000m, 10 len behind Furious with 54kg at $31. Draws out again but should fare a lot better in this suitable contest.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming ran last of 10 at Ipswich Bm78 on January 10 over 1350m, 24 len behind Mishani Crown carrying 55.5kg at $81. Last start ran last of 8 at Eagle Farm Cl5 on January 28 over 1600m, 7 len behind Naval Seal carrying 55.5kg at $151. Maybe a place against this line-up.
