Launceston Race 6 - Steve Donaldson (Bm68)
FIGHTING FOR GOLD (6) is a lightly tried 7YO mare who is very smart when right, and this season she is unbeaten in 2 starts on this track. She is down in class from her last win at BM76 level, and despite a 4kgt weight rise, the hat-trick beckons. NIGHT INVADER (5) resumes from a spell, and is better known over more ground, but she has won fresh up in the past, and if they overdo it in front, then she can run into a top 3 placing. SH'BOURNE POWER (7) is a very progressive 5YO gelding with terrific form on wet ground. He is nicely placed after a 2kg claim and should be included in all top 4 combos. SISTER ROYAL (8) has a couple of runs earlier in the year before being put aside to mature and switch stables. Any market confidence would be worth following. GO JEANIE (4) fought on gamely for second as the favourite here last start, and she still had some improvement to come in her coat that day. She will peak at the right time here and can go one better.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 9 in a Bm76 at this track on September 25 over 1120m, 2.25 len behind Glory Mission carrying 54.5kg at $15. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 in a Bm68 at Hobart on August 5 over 1390m, slow going head behind Geegee Strawberry carrying 57kg at $3.80. Up in trip and is worth some thought.

Resuming came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 0.5 len in a Cl3 at this track on September 25 over 1220m defeating Ozonica carrying 55kg at $3.70.
