Launceston Race 6 - Shirley Martin Mother Of Pearl
ULTIMACTION (6) is looking to improve on her last-start second in a Listed contest won by Nova Baxter over 2090m at Hobart eight months ago. Ready to add another big race to her formidable record. THE NAKED ART (3) comes here following a fifth behind Let Her Roll at Group Three level eight days ago over 1720m at Melton. Ideally drawn and can play a big role. CRAYONS TO PERFUME (1) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 11 metres at this track over 2200m. CARMEN EMJAY (9) is in the mix at her first run since finishing runner-up over 2200m at this track 12 weeks ago.

Racing in great heart. Last start won by 11 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:42.30) beating Told You Twice in on October 4 at $1.80 at the bell was leading 7.2. Chances enhanced by the inside draw. Sure to go well again.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 5th (Fr1) over 1720m at Melton was 5th-9.54 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Let Her Roll (1:59.00) in G3 M on October 17 at $34. The run before was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 2100m at Geelong, beaten 30 m by The Final Dance (2:30.40) on October 3 at $19. Well placed to bounce back.

Is on a seven-day back-up and has been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Strong performance last time out 2nd (Fr3) over 2200m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 2nd-4 beaten 3.5 m by Port Run Machine (2:40.10) on October 18 at $19. Not as keen on her chances in this line-up.

Returns after eight months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when a close second after a quick start, behind Nova Baxter at Hobart over 2090m in a LR M on February 28 at $1.50. Finds a nice race and should feature.

Last start 2nd (Sr3) over 1609m after racing wide at Hobart, at the bell was 2nd-1 beaten 7 m by Treacherous Dan (1:56.80) on October 11 at $16. Two runs back was well back in the run when 4th (Fr7) over 1680m after racing wide at this track, beaten 11 m by Weona Eagle (2:01.20) on September 27 at $3.60. Can improve but this appears a bit rich.
