Too Hard To Find to push forward on the fence and lead a race lacking pace. LAUNCHER (2) peaked on his run second-up and looks set to shed his Maiden status today. Closed late in the small field with a handy third over 1350m at Ipswich. Ready for this trip and further now in what looks a very thin contest. SUNVOLT (8) coming along nicely after the two career starts and will appreciate the 1400m here. Wound up nicely from midfield to finish second over 1212m at Coffs Harbour. Genuine top-three player on the firmer surface. KISS'N DANCE (1) returned from a let-up and back in trip with a fast finishing second A repeat performance keeps him in the contest. TURPIN'S TORMENT (4) back in trip with a close-up fourth over 1720m at this track. Comes here in peak condition and not to be overlooked dropping back to the 1400m. JENNIBELLE (9) two career starts have been okay and improvement is anticipated over this trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Launcher can finish over the top of these.
