Launceston Race 1 - Armidale Stud Mdn Plate
PRINCE MARIONETTE (3) was narrowly beaten at Seymour on debut and then lost a plate in the rich Inglis Millennium at Randwick, outgraded. Arrives here freshened 34 days and fitter again; she should have them covered. TAROONA (8) was outgraded here 16 days ago, but she brought promising form to that. She gets in light with the 3kg claim and can bounce back into the finish. CELESTIAL GLOW (7) also peaks and rates similarly. Maps well and also benefits from a 3kg claim. CAN'T CATCH CHILLI (6) debuts and has been well trialled. In good hands and is worth a betting watch.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign seventh of 10 at Hobart 2yo SW January 3 over 1000m, 7 len behind Zany Girl carrying 55kg at $61. On debut eighth of 11 at Hobart Mdn-Sw December 15 over 1000m, soft track; 8 len behind Zany Girl carrying 55kg at $21. Prefer to see how she returns.

Two-year-old filly (Wordsmith - Can't Be Caught). Stuart Gandy has her ready for this with three recent trials leading in today's debut. Ran 3rd in a trial at Hobart over 800m on February 17. Looks a capable type and should be competitive.
