ROYAL APPOINTMENT (2) was responsible for a far better performance last time out, finishing second over 1680m at Launceston. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. His recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. MR BONDI (3) finished sixth last start over 1680m at Launceston, beaten 7 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Not disgraced last time. Good enough to take out a race like this. JAMES CAGNEY (5) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1680m at Launceston last time out. ANGUS INDIANA (6) last appeared when ninth over 2698m at Launceston 11 weeks ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep.

Didn't do much last time out, 8th (Sr2) over 1680m at Launceston beaten 10 m by Octagonise (2:00.90) in NR 64 to 69 on June 22 at $9.50. Before that 5th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track beaten 24 m by Triple Vinnies (1:54.70) in NR 65 to 74 on June 1 at $7.50. Must do a lot more.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Lou Baby at Launceston over 2200m in a NR 69 to 79 on June 8 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Octagonise at Launceston over 1680m in a NR 64 to 69 on June 22 at $8.50. Well placed and ready to peak.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr4) over 1680m after showing early pace at Launceston beaten 7 m by Lou Baby (2:00.90) in NR 70 to 79 on June 22 at $20. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2 m after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (1:58.30) beating The Vixen in 3yo+ NMT 5 LTW's on June 15 at $5. Capable of taking this out.

Last start 7th (Sr2) over 1680m at Launceston, beaten 8 m by Lou Baby (2:00.90) in NR 70 to 79 on June 22 at $21. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 2090m at this track, beaten 12 m by Triple Vinnies (2:31.80) in NR 65 to 74 on June 15 at $6.50. Will be about the money.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr6) over 1680m at Launceston, beaten 6 m by Lou Baby (2:00.90) in NR 70 to 79 on June 22 at $151. At his previous start 4th (Fr1) over 2090m at this track, beaten 19 m by Triple Vinnies (2:31.80) in NR 65 to 74 on June 15 at $15. Can make amends.

Resuming after 11 weeks off the scene. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into ninth stood flat footed, behind Triedtotellya at Launceston over 2698m in a NR 80 or better on April 13 at $15. Sure to be in the mix while fresh.
