PEAK A BOOM (8) dropped out from the rails draw before closing late to finish fourth over 1220m at Launceston last start. Will prove hard to hold out. RED ROWIE (4) on synthetic for the first time at his second run back from a spell. Kicked off the campaign with a seventh on turf at Launceston over 1200m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Solid credentials. BAYSIDE (1) was in control from the outset to score on debut over 1350m at this track two weeks ago. Will come on following that run; definite threat. ICE CRYSTAL (9) was safely held when seventh last time out over 1600m at Launceston, beaten 15 lengths, after a win at Launceston at the previous outing. Should be thereabouts.
