LAUNCH SEQUENCE (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 5f at Taree. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TOKYO LADY (14) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was in contention on the bend before being beaten 6 lengths into eighth over 5f at Hawkesbury. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. VALILEE (1) is a gelding by Adelaide out of Bec Said No Credit on debut. Looks ready after placing in a recent Hawkesbury trial. Should run well. KUSHOMA (8) is fitter for two runs back from a lay-off, progressing nicely last time to finish fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, at Kempsey over 5f. Should camp just off the leaders. One of the better hopes.
