LAUNNIE NIGHTS (7) was a winner over 1m at Launceston last time, racing on the pace before getting the upper hand and scoring by 1. 75 lengths. Going well and should give a bold sight again. ALPINE BLAST (1) missed the frame last time when sixth at Devonport Synthetic. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions. Will find this a little easier than last time. Leading contender. GEE GEE CAN WIN (5) finished third last time over 5¾f at Devonport Synthetic when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 2 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. ETHICAL DILEMMA (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in tenth over 5¾f at Devonport Synthetic. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
