Sapphire Coast Race 1 - Bermagui Cellars Mdn Plate
CAMDEN COVE (1) has switched from the Bjorn Baker stable to Wayne Hudd. Last raced four weeks ago over this distance at Orange where he came from last on the corner to be beaten just 1.5 lengths. Suited by the long straight and small field so this looks a lovely set-up. DARTANU (3) is a D'Argento gelding on debut for the Bateup stable which boasts a good strike rate at this circuit. Won his only trial in impressive style. Should be highly competitive in this modest maiden. Kerry Parker's Russian Revolution filly FORCE OF NATURE (8) lines up for the first time. Trial form just fair so let the betting tell the tale. CAT'S EYE (5) is another newcomer who should be monitored in the marketplace. SETTA'S GIRL (7) was mediocre on debut at Gundagai but might improve with the blinkers going on.

Form hard to fault. Most recently came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Orange on October 8 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Kennedy Compound carrying 57kg at $2.80. Before that 3rd in a small field in a Mdn-Sw at Goulburn on September 24 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Alabama Showdown with 59kg at $2.80. Key runner who looks ready to get off the mark.

Theresa Bateup trained three-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Looked good in a recent trial win. The stable is always a threat when they bring one here.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, 5th of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at Gundagai on September 6 over 1000m, on a wet track; 5 len behind Tallingas Avanti with 57kg at $51. Might improve with the blinkers going on.
