1. Fighting Frank | Well beaten but finished strongly last start at Devonport. Should race on the speed. Expect to be right up there. |
2. Perkins | Has had 14 runs without breaking maiden and gets the winkers on for the first time. Drawn the rails. Outside hope. |
3. Upset | In the money last start running third at Launceston and has two placings from four runs this prep. Drops in weight. Rates as one of the key chances. |
4. Boss Cheyenne | On a five day back-up. Just missed when heavily backed last start at Devonport and has two placings from three runs this prep. Serious player. |
5. Sarsaparilla | Has had 37 runs without breaking maiden and no wins in four past runs at Launceston. Appears tested. |
6. Vela Blue | Let-up for 11 weeks and has run in 11 races without placing. Doesn't fire fresh. Appears safely held. |
7. Wild Style | Faded to finish one and a half lengths off the winner last start at Devonport when resuming. Winkers come off for the first time. Should race on the speed. Genuine contender. |
8. Sizzling Fast | Faded to finish eighth last start at Devonport and this campaign's form has left a lot to be desired. Drops in weight but still looking to others. |
9. Fun 'N' Frolic | Returns from six week let-up and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Yet to place in six attempts. Place. |
10. Scarlet Warrior | Struck interference at start. Raced three wide 14-1/4 len 9th of 11 (8) $17.00 55.0 Thelma 1200m Launceston 3yo Mdn Good(4) Dec 16. |
