CELTIC ROSE (14) has been in the placings four times from five starts in this maiden campaign, the latest as favourite over 6f at Launceston when 4 lengths from the winner. Form sound without winning and gets her chance to break through. GAZZA'S SPIRIT (1) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 6f, beaten one length. Drawn out but going well enough to play a role. I'VE BEEN DREAMING (7) strode forward early from her wide draw when resuming last start over 5½f at this track then fought on gamely to finish third. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. LIGHT FORCE (3) was well in the market when resuming last start but failed to threaten when a disappointing eighth at this track over 5½f. Deserves another chance in this line up.
