Launceston Race 1 - Book Your Christmas Party 10Th December Plate (C6)
MS TASMANIA (6) is a strong fresh performer back after a break. Kicked off her last campaign with a win at this track and will strip fitter for the recent Elwick trial win. Is 2/2 this course distance and she will be tough to roll. IN THE OCEAN (2) also flies fresh and has won 5/7 this track/trip and placed in the other two. Races forward and rates to go close. JAGUAR STONE (5) resumes and also deserves consideration. May find the above pair a bit speedy at 1100m, but he's Group and Listed placed, and won a recent 800m here. Will hit the line and can't be ruled out. MAKE A DECISION (1) won a 72 here from the speed 7 days ago over 1200m. This is tougher, but in a small field, he can give some cheek.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of seven months. Finished off last campaign when last of 7 at Hobart Open Hcp May 11 over 1600m, 11 len behind Captain Cam with 58kg at $7. First up last campaign third of 13 at Hobart Qlty November 9 2024 over 1100m, soft track; 0.6 len behind Thespian Waters with 54kg at $19. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Will be hitting the line and has claims.
