AU - Launceston - Race 6

CRACK THE SHUTTERS (3) was impressive last time, winning by a length here over this trip to stay unbeaten in 2 starts this prep. Anthony Darmanin has a perfect record when riding her, and from a good gate, the hat-trick beckons, even in a hot field like this. MAZZINI (1) resumed from a spell to lead all the way for a one-length win here over this distance. There is more depth to this field, but he strips fitter, and he has not reached his limit yet. GEEGEES MISSILE (4) is flying with four straight wins, the latest by 1.75 lengths over 5f at Hobart 17 days ago. Troy Baker is back in the saddle, and she is well-placed to win again. SANNIYA (2) resumes after a 9-month spell and won on debut here over 6f in early February. She has won both of her tune-up trials, and Craig Newitt keeps his connection with her. She could be all that, and another win would be no surprise. DAYTONA DIVA (5) returned well with a close second at this track last start. Include in all combinations.
