Trainer John Blacker aims to pick up where he left off when the new racing season kicks off in Launceston on Sunday.

John Blacker  has dominated the Tasmanian scene recently, winning the past two premierships. Last season, he trained 82 winners, almost double his nearest rival.

His team won more than $2.25 million in prize money, a record for his stable.

"Things have been going really well winning last year and this year again. We are lucky enough to have a lot of clients and a lot of horses in Brighton and Longford. We just need to find a couple of decent horses to be competitive in the better class races," Blacker said.

Blacker has by far the biggest number of horses in work and will take a team of 18 to the meeting on Sunday, and he's confident he can find his way to the winners' circle.

He rates his lightly raced 5yo mare Press For Boom as one of the stable's best chances. Press For Boom won her first four starts, but at her two runs last campaign, she finished second and then last in a small field of five.

"She ran really well first-up last campaign, she ran second to Galenus when he was at his best. The next start we ran last and didn't pull up too well. She had an episode of heart atrial fibrillation, we tipped her straight out and gave her a good break, and since we brought her back, we haven't had a hiccup.

"She's had two trials in front of the stewards, and everything has been good, and I think her last trial was pretty impressive. We go to Launceston on Sunday and expect her to win," a confident Blacker predicted.

Blacker will have at least one runner in each of the eight races on Sunday. One event he is particularly keen to win is the JKB racing BM60, a race named in his honour.

Warica, who finished fourth in Hobart last Sunday, backs up at the track where he has won five times and will represent the stable.

"With the claim, 3kg, a good barrier draw, he should be thereabouts, he races well at Mowbray, it would be nice to win that race. He's as honest as the day is long, he's raced against the best company, and he's not far off being an Open class horse.

"I think we've got chances in every race, I think Bella Chinkara (1400m maiden), if she is going to win a race this time, it should be Sunday. Warica in my race would be nice and Press For Boom, she will only have the one run this campaign, and we will bring her back for the fillies and mares races over the carnival."

Stable jockey Jackson Radley, who won the apprentice premiership, has a full book of rides, nearly all for Blacker, and while he has been riding successfully in Melbourne recently, Blacker says Radley will stay in Tasmania for a little while yet.

"He will stay here for the carnival, but if the (Hayes) boys need him over there, he will fly over on a Wednesday and Saturday. I need him here more than anybody; to be fair, he's the stable apprentice and he's done really well, he's just in his second year of riding."

It's a rare winter meeting for Launceston, with the rail out four metres for the circumference; it could be a tricky day for punting, but one that might offer nice each-way odds is She's Slick in race two. She'll be third up from a break, finished off nicely in Hobart last week, and should appreciate the extra trip, running on well.
