Launceston Race 1 - Rockjaw Tours 'It’s Why We Race' Mdn Plate
CELTIC ROSE (3) resumed and showed more like her best when beaten 1L over 1100m at this track. She led in that and draws the paint today. Nicely placed to go one better. OXIDIZE (7) resumes and owns a Longford trial win. His Hobart form stacks right up and he has to be kept very safe. PARTY DAY (8) turned in a much better run at her second appearance missing by 1.3L over 1009m at Devonport Synthetic. Can improve further and should be in the finish. LA ZAMPA (1) was in the money at Devonport Synthetic first up but was plainer here following well supported. Has a low gate and the top rider is reunited. A much better effort is likely.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Devonport Synthetic Mdn-Sw on September 28 over 1009m, 1.75 len behind Star Fortian with 58.5kg at $4.60. Second run from a spell second last in a small field at this track Mdn-Sw on October 3 over 1100m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Novalargo with 58.5kg at $3.60. Better than the last effort suggests and can bounce back.

Last start 4th of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw on October 3 over 1400m, slow going 2.5 len behind Rapids Ahead with 58.5kg at $4. The run before that 8th of 11 at Wodonga 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on September 16 over 1200m, 8 len behind Youarenotalone carrying 59.5kg at $7.50. Certainly worth another chance.

Last start did the work up front then tired 7th of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on October 12 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Snow Maiden carrying 56.5kg at $101. The start before that ran last of 10 at Devonport Synthetic Mdn-Sw on August 17 over 1009m, 16 len behind Munich Marble carrying 56kg at $81. Further improvement likely so worth including.
