Launceston tips and results

Our price $2.80 · SP $4.20 · Bulent Muhcu

The gelding should improve second-up and maps to get an ideal run from barrier 9 with the expected moderate-fast tempo. With Bulent Muhcu aboard, this lightly-raced 3YO appears well-placed to break through in this maiden.

Our price $3.80 · SP $5.50 · Jackson Radley

Tassie Power brings consistent form with two third placings from four career starts. The gelding maps to be on-pace from barrier 3, which should be advantageous given the track bias favoring leaders. Jackson Radley's ride will be crucial in positioning him favorably in the early stages.

Our price $9.00 · SP $6.00 · Codi Jordan

The gelding draws perfectly in barrier 2 and comes into this race with significant gear changes (cross-over nose band and ear muffs pre-race) that could spark improvement. The significant class drop from open company to maiden grade is a major positive, and as a 3YO having his second preparation, natural improvement is expected.

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.60 · David Pires

Alpine Cowgirl brings solid form credentials with a last start 2nd at this track over 1400m. She's shown ability at the mile with two thirds from three attempts and has drawn perfectly in barrier 1. The 26-day freshen-up is a slight query, but her overall consistency and proven ability at this track make her a genuine winning chance.

Our price $9.00 · SP $12.00 · Shogo Nakano

While her last start 7th at this track was only moderate, she has shown ability with a 3rd placing earlier in her preparation.

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.00 · Kirra-Lee Lane

Gelding who produced a solid 3rd placing last start over this course and distance. Second-up today with a good record when second-up (0-1-1 from 2 starts). Has shown ability at the mile with a placing from 2 attempts and should be prominent from the outset. The wide barrier is a concern but has the tactical speed to overcome it.

Our price $7.00 · SP $14.00 · Lizzie Annells

Has been racing in stronger company and drops significantly in class here. Excellent record at this track (1-2-1 from 19 starts) and has been placing regularly in recent starts. Tends to find one or two better but must be respected on his best form.

Our price $9.00 · SP $13.00 · Christopher Pang

The mare has an excellent record at Launceston (2 wins from 4 starts) and draws perfectly in barrier 3 to utilize her tactical speed.

Our price $7.00 · SP $5.50 · Anthony Darmanin

Our price $6.00 · SP $10.00 · Sam Kennedy

Reliable and consistent performer who rarely runs a bad race. Has excellent soft track credentials with 5 wins from 13 starts on soft going.

Progressive gelding who won impressively last start at this track over 1100m. Has an excellent second-up record with 2 wins from 3 attempts and has shown versatility across different track conditions. The wider barrier is a concern, but his early speed should allow him to find a position.

Our price $3.80 · SP $5.00 · Christopher Pang
