Former premiership winner Codi Jordan celebrated her last night as an apprentice jockey with a win aboard Stone Cold Stunner ($2.30) for her master Glenn Stevenson to start the quaddie in Launceston on Wednesday night.

The mare is in sparkling form at the moment, winning her past four starts and put in another strong performance to get up in the last couple of strides from Noble Exception ($26) and Brinktop Lad ($26).

"She's stepping up to what she has to do, and going forward, I think there's a few nice races in her.

"It's my last night as an apprentice, my three years of riding have been amazing.

"I couldn't ask for more, two Newmarkets and other nice races. I have the best support from everyone around me, especially my master, and I can't be more grateful," Jordan said.

Stone Cold Stunner was the second half of a training double for Glenn Stevenson following the win of Just Cruisin', who, despite being very green, was an impressive winner over 1200m.

Just Cruisin' missed a start last week when emergency but despite being a little behind where he would like to be with the youngster, Stevenson is aiming the 3YO at the Tasmanian Guineas (1600m).

"He's always shown a bit of ability, this bloke, and I think every time he goes around, he will be one of those improving types.

"He's raw, but he's a nice big strong boy with his best to come," Stevenson said.

Punters were off to a strong start on Wednesday night, with Just Cruisin' ($4.40 – $2.50), followed by the well-supported Pennine ($5.00 – $3.80) in the next race.

Pennine again showed his liking for the Launceston track with a dominant win in the 2100m Maiden/Class 1.

With Craig Newitt in the saddle, Pennine settled near the tail of the field but had the leaders covered when he swooped around the home turn.

"From a sticky gate, I just had to let it unfold early, I think when they go slow, especially with the class of horse, you just need momentum, I was able to get him to the outside and keep his momentum building," Newitt said.

The Siggy Carr-trained galloper has now raced in Launceston five times for a win and three placings.

Trainer Graeme Mcculloch will have a 'throw at the stumps' in the feature mares' races with Extreme Gem after she led all the way to win a BM68 (1200m).

Heavily backed to start as favourite, Extreme Gem ($5.50 – $2.60) sped straight to the front and gave nothing else a chance, winning by two lengths.

McCulloch purchased the mare predominately as a breeding prospect but is now aiming for black type status.

"To buy a horse like her with her breeding and buy her cheap and then she turns out like this it's fantastic.

"We will wait until next year to breed from her," McCulloch said.

Since joining the McCulloch stable, Extreme Gem has raced six times for three wins and three placings and has been ridden by Erica Byrne Burke  in all six starts.

A perfect ride from Hayley Mc Carthy helped land Ngapali Beach the 1200m Class 2 Hcp.

From barrier three, Ngapali Beach landed on the rails just off the speed and, after getting a gap at the 200m mark, sprinted through to win by two lengths from Duncannon ($34) and early leader Kaytee Valiente ($31).

Ngapali Beach has raced only six times, and that was her second win. She wasn't missed in the market, firming from $13 into $6.

"She's certainly starting to get the job done, still learning a lot but a really nice mare.

"I would have preferred to be off the fence, but as it was, I got a split at the top of the straight, and she went to the line really well," McCarthy said.
