Launceston Race 6 - Cressy Chaff Cutters Longford Cup 1St January (Bm60)
Competitive. ELEGANTLY WRITTEN (3) stepped up to this trip in stronger grade and found more like her best when beaten a whisker. Draws low again and 3x winning rider Jordan is reunited. Hit this at peak fitness, and she will be tough to roll. BAYBOUGG (4) built on an improved run with a win at this level over 1400m. She's won over a mile, and the 2kg claim takes care of the weight rise. Will go close holding the form. NIGHT INVADER (1) is racing well and is suited over the longer journey. She will give away a start and finish hard. NIGHT ACTION (6) was plainer last time in tougher, but his near miss prior over 1400m reads well enough. He has been finding it hard to win, but will use the inside barrier, and the in-form Byrne Burke is reunited. Keep onside.
