Launceston Race 8 - E (Ted) & Arthur Cox Memorial Hcp

CHEROKEE DANCER (2) resumed at this level over 1100m here and was too good. She's won 2/4 second-up and draws for the softest run. She's much improved and can go on with the job. PEROLA (4) has been within range at Stakes and Group level this preparation. Tumbles in weight today, and that brings her right into it. THESPIAN WATERS (1) was beaten 1.3L behind Cherokee Prince. He's raced well in Stakes grade and also has claims. NICCO THE GREEK (3) switches back 200m off a tough win here over 1400m in a 76. Carries 4kg less at this level and keeps nudging up his numbers. He has to be taken seriously.

Second-up. First-up after five months raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at this track Open Hcp March 13 over 1100m in soft going defeating In The Ocean carrying 54kg at $14. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 2.75 len at Devonport Synthetic Cl6 September 14 over 1009m defeating Amant Francais carrying 55kg at $2.50. Has won second up in the past and is capable of building on that record.
