Prize Money: $35,000

PEROLA (1) made it two wins in a row when she dug deep to just prevail against some of today's key rivals last start over 1200m at Launceston. Equally at home over today's trip so in the small field she looks a great chance to chalk up the hat trick. STARDARMUS (3) couldn't quicken last time and was safely held in the race won by PEROLA. Yet to miss the placings over today's journey so expect he will be far more competitive. EASTCOAST MISS (4) worked home well to get the prize recently in a BM60 over 1220m at Launceston. Up in grade but should be even more effective out to 1400m so don't underestimate her. ARUMA (2) is racing well including a third to Perola two back. At her best over this trip so on a six-day back-up she comes right under notice. The small field will suit the racing pattern of SIR JAG (7) so throw him in your trifectas and first fours.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; won by 0.5 len at Launceston 4yo Swp April 11 over 1200m defeating Bloomtime carrying 55.5kg at $2.45. Before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at Launceston Cl5 March 28 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Rigoletto carrying 51kg at $1.80. Key runner and looks a big chance to extend the winning run.

Useful type. Last start second last of 7 at Launceston 4yo Swp on April 11 over 1200m, 4 len behind Perola carrying 57.5kg at $3.90. Before that 2nd in a small field at this track Cl4 Sw on April 6 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Araya Sunshine carrying 59kg at $1.80. Rates highly and deserves another chance.

Third-up today. Resuming 6th of 9 at this track Bm68 on March 23 over 1100m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Etosha carrying 52.5kg at $11. Second run from a spell won by 0.5 len at Launceston Bm60 April 18 over 1220m on a soft track defeating Wheeling carrying 56kg at $8. Profiles nicely. Going well and is right in this.

Previous preparation first-up won by 0.5 len this track Mdn-Sw June 23 over 1450m slow track defeating Scarletti carrying 56.5kg at $4. Will take great benefit from this outing.

Most recently eased back early on 9th of 12 at Launceston Cl1 on April 18 over 1420m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Rich Glow with 51kg at $4.40. The run before that 5th of 7 at Launceston 4yo Swp on April 11 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Perola with 57kg at $26. Capable on his day and is one of the chances.
