Launceston Race 9

J G Nelson Cup - Division.2 H Division1

Prize Money: $4,315

ROJO JOJO (2) failed to feature last start at this track, but prior to that won by 2 lengths at this track (16.05) beating ROJO MOLLY in a Grade 4 on June 2. The form out of her last race has been franked. Looks the one to beat on her best form. CAL'S SENSATION (1) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and two placings from six starts. Was out of the placings last time (30.63) at this track in a Grade 3/4, finishing fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Among the main chances. ROJO MOLLY (6) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by a nose at Hobart in a handy 26.04 beating MIDNIGHT GRAND. Sure to measure up. MIDNIGHT GRAND (8) is not to be discarded.

Good performance to win by a nose at Hobart over 461m (26.04) beating Midnight Grand in Grade 5 on June 19. Deserved winner last time after finishing in the money three on end prior to that. Can make it two on the trot.
