Brighton Hair & Beauty Division1

Prize Money: $4,345

ROSIES RETURN (1) copped a check in the run and finished a well held 8 lengths third (30.48) last time in a Grade 4/5 at Launceston over 515m. Key player on best form. PRESSING MATTERS (8) has been in the placings at his last two runs, most recently when third (20.38) in a Other over 340m at this track. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. NEPTUNE FIREBALL (4) was a (29.87) winner last time out at Launceston from Box 4. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from five starts. One of the leading chances again. SUNDARA (2) was in the money last start at this track and distance - poses a threat again.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (26.30) at this track over 461m. Rates among the chances this time.
