Launceston Race 7 - Faithful Park Stud Tassie Golden Apple Heat Two
WAVES OF CHANCE (7) has been a model of consistency of late and deserved his win last time out, scoring by 15 metres over 2090m at Hobart. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. ROCKANDAHARDPLACE (1) was responsible for a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 2180m at Burnie on November 6. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. UNMATCHED (2) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 2200m at this track. Should run a big race. FREE THINKER (8) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2647m at Albion Park.

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Rocky Stride at Hobart over 2090m on October 11 at $12. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind Crayons To Perfume at this track over 2200m in a 4yo+ on November 1 at $6.50. Another big run would not surprise.
