Launceston Race 7 - House Of Arras Hcp
PEROLA (3) has been within range in Listed and Group company her last two and is well placed in Open grade carrying 3kg less. Has to drop back 300m on a 16-day return but has the class to manage. IN THE OCEAN (2) finished 1.3 lengths from the winner in a Quality last start over 1200m at this track. Has won 6/9 this track and distance and placed the other three. Has a handy 3kg claim and is likely to feature. GOLDEN MEADOW (6) has strung together two wins at the course, the latest over 1220m. Needs to find more to beat this field, but she deserves thought. THESPIAN WATERS (1) peaks and two of his last three starts have been at Stakes level. He may sit handier today under Stanley and is in the mix.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run won by a nose at this track Bm68 March 4 over 1220m in soft going defeating Make A Decision carrying 56.5kg at $9. The race before that came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track Bm64 February 25 over 1200m defeating Azonto carrying 55kg at $12. Going well and should prove hard to beat.
