Launceston Race 8 - Collins Homes Granny Smith Heat One
CARMEN EMJAY (7) finished fifth last start over 1609m at Hobart, beaten 9 metres, after a good win at Hobart the run prior. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. ANGEL ROCKS (2) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 2090m at Hobart, finishing second and just a head from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. TULLAH GIRL (6) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 2200m at this track. PHLOW JO (4) must be considered after she finished third over 1680m at this track nine days ago.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Imperial Sanz at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on June 21 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Centurian Miss at Hobart over 2090m in a 3yo+ FM on June 28 at $13. Has the inside and is a winning hope.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Rock Amour at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on June 12 at $13. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Soho Tiger Lily at this track over 1680m in a 3yo+ on June 26 at $7.50. In fine form. Among the top chances on recent form.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr1) over 2090m after showing early speed at Hobart beaten 11 m by Centurian Miss (2:37.80) in 3yo+ FM on June 28 at $41. Before that was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2200m at this track, beaten 10 m by Rock Amour (2:49.10) in 3yo+ on June 12 at $8.50. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early pace at Hobart, beaten 9 m by Go The Red (1:57.70) on June 28 at $2.45. Showed ability the run before when she posted a big 4 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Hobart (2:33.40) beating Everything But The in on June 14 at $1.30. Big chance to find the winners' list.
