Launceston Race 7 - Crawf Loves Launnie! Hcp
PRINCE OF KHATUN (3) continued his march through the grades with a tough neck win in BM68 company fresh up here 2 weeks ago. He carries 2.5kg less this time and should have no trouble taking out a race at this level as well. On top. IN THE OCEAN (1) has a terrific record here over the trip, and he has not missed a cheque in 5 starts fresh up in the past, including 2 wins. Hard to beat. ZANY GIRL (4) has not won for some time but was tackling some good fields as a 3YO last season and was not disgraced in any of them. She flashed home late fresh up here 3 weeks ago when finishing second and can go one better in this. GLORY MISSION (6) is a talented and lightly tried 6YO gelding who made it 2 wins from as many starts this prep with a big win over the third pick in the same race, and he will drop 2kg for this assignment. The hat-trick beckons. GEORGARONI (5) made plenty of progress last season, and he is unbeaten in 2 starts fresh up in the past. Follow any market confidence.

Second run back. First-up after eight months favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a long-neck in a Bm68 at this track on October 2 over 1200m in soft going defeating Billie The Great carrying 57kg at $1.95. Previously second-up 2nd of 10 in a Cl1 at this track on October 3 2025 over 1100m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Crack The Shutters carrying 57.5kg at $3.60. In the money when second up in the past and can add to that record today.

Second run back. First-up after six months 3rd of 9 in a Bm76 at this track on September 25 over 1120m, 1.75 len behind Glory Mission with 54.5kg at $10. Previously second-up ran second last in a small field in a Cl4 Sw at Hobart on January 25 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Lady Galadriel carrying 57kg at $2.60. Has a reasonable second-up record and is definitely worth including.
