Launceston Race 6 - Killara 'Island Warrior' Vase (Bm64)
WHEELING (4) resumes and this is winnable if he's presented on song. Gets in well with the handy 2kg claim, and he's trialled well at Longford. The betting will be key. THISISMYTURF (2) switched from a Victorian barn and was beaten 1.3L in tougher company on a 24-day turnaround. He has more to give and the 2kg claim helps offset some of the weight increase. Maps well and can't be taken lightly. NAVAL ANTHEM (5) resumed in solid order off a comfortable trial win. He is proven second-up and can improve into the finish. QUICKEN UP (1) resumed off a long break on the synthetic in a 66 and wasn't beaten far. She's won a trial on that surface since and has won twice second-up. Has more up the sleeve and has a low gate and handy 2kg claim.

At the latest run eased back early on 4th of 7 at this track Bm72 on October 3 over 1100m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Thoros Of Myr with 53kg at $15. Before that 5th of 10 at Warrnambool Bm62 on September 9 over 1300m, on a wet track; 6 len behind Geffina with 58kg at $10. Encouraging effort last start. One of the major hopes.
