GOODNIGHT JASPER (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and three minors from eight tries. Recorded a 6 length win (30.02) in a Grade 5 last time at Launceston. Looks the one to beat with even luck. GRAPEFRUIT EXPEL (6) has a strong record this track and trip with four wins and two placings from seven starts. Missed the frame latest (30.31) when eighth over 515m at Launceston in a Special conditions race. Looks well placed here and among the chances. RUPEE'S ROCKET (3) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at Launceston, scoring by 7 lengths (34.82). Harder here but expected to feature again. BLACKBRUSH ANNIE (2) can sneak into the finish.

Good performance to post a big 6 lengths win at Launceston over 515m (30.02) beating Buckle Up Savani in Grade 5 on August 31. Has run blistering time here with a 25.91 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Put a space on them to win by 7 lengths at Launceston over 600m (34.82) beating Aeroplane Bernie in Grade 4/5 on August 31. Can measure up again with the right run.

Missed the frame last start when eighth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Makes plenty of appeal on best and can easily atone here.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 461m in 26.20. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 340m at this track at Grade 5 level. Hard to envisage a win.
