Launceston tips and results

Our price $6.50 · SP $9.00 · Kirra-Lee Lane

The map horse. Already a winner at this track and trip, saluted on soft, and led throughout for a game second last start. Gate 13 is the query, but if he finds the rail in front he will take beating.

Our price $9.50 · SP $14.00 · Sam Kennedy

Value angle. Won her maiden in good style two back then ran an even fifth first-up in Class 1 from near last. Has enough toe to settle midfield and the recent pattern suggests she is still on the improve.

Our price $3.40 · SP $4.40 · Troy Baker

He maps to lead again and Launceston maidens on Fridays are built for that pattern.

Our price $7.50 · SP $7.50 · Anthony Darmanin

In a maiden where map often beats raw form, she is the clear overlay for exotics and a saver each-way.

Symphony Queen produced the best recent result when second here last week and has stacked placings at the track.

Sorell Eagles showed he can mix it on Soft when second at Hobart beaten a neck and draws nicely to settle midfield. Last start was plain on Good ground but the return to Soft and an inside gate give him a race.

Kireina Marubrah looks the leader and Friday Launceston often plays to on-pace runners. She has been placing honestly in the grade, the jockey-trainer pairing is reliable here, and a moderate tempo gives her every chance to dictate. Soft evidence is thinner than some rivals, so she is a win chance more than a confidence staple, but the map keeps her firmly in the first three.

Geegee Strawberry is the value runner. Her Bm68 Soft win and honest higher-grade form tower over several of these, and the wet record is proven.

Our price $7.50 · SP $8.00 · Troy Baker

The form horse many will overlook. His recent third in Bm68 company on Soft here was one of the better runs in the field, and he keeps finding the frame. Win strike is modest and connections are quiet, so he is more place-leaning than a confident winner, but he fully belongs in the first three on pure recent form and wet-track reliability.

Gate one and an on-pace pattern are gold at Launceston on Soft, especially Friday. Soft form is adequate and she has won on rain-affected ground over further.

Dissalto ran fourth in the same Launceston sprint that sets the form standard, only a couple of lengths off the winner and right behind today's main chances. Barrier five and an on-pace style fit this track, and he carries the minimum.

Our price $6.50 · SP $12.00 · Erica Byrne Burke

Out Of The Sphere is the clean leader and can make this a genuine speed test from barrier seven. The Trinder yard and Byrne Burke are flying locally, and his latest maiden win was authoritative.

Our price $4.20 · SP $15.00 · Luke P Dempsey

Hartman is the clearest form horse. He drops from Open grade after a strong second and a prior BM76 win, maps to sit handy from barrier 5, and has genuine Soft credentials.

Our price $7.50 · SP $14.00 · Chloe Wells

Alpine Thunder is flying and the map is made for him. He led all the way to win his last two, including on Soft 5, and leaders dominate this circuit at sprint trips. Barrier 8 is imperfect but his early pace should secure the front or the one-out trail.

Our price $11.00 · SP $41.00 · Robyn Lynch

Bold Instinct is the standout overlay. He drops to 53.5kg and draws barrier 4.

Our price $4.20 · SP $12.00 · Chloe Wells

Best form case in the race. Soft-track record is outstanding and her recent Hobart runs, including a solid fifth in better grade, stack up strongly. Maps to settle midfield-handy in a moderate tempo, which is the right pattern here. Freshened 37 days but not coming off a spell.

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.00 · Craig Newitt

Map horse of the race. Leader from gate 3 at Launceston on soft ground is a powerful angle, and her prior course form is excellent including a Soft 5 win at this trip. Long spell without a trial and a quiet stable are real concerns, so she is treated as a place-focused selection rather than the win stab. If ready she is right in the finish.

Our price $5.50 · SP $2.35 · Erica Byrne Burke

As the clear leader on a Soft Launceston staying track with little pressure, he can pinch a break and make the others chase.

Our price $12.00 · SP $26.00 · Troy Baker

Alpine Trout was not far away when the key Soft staying form was set at Hobart, finishing fifth after being held up, and he owns a genuine record at staying trips. Launceston has not been kind and latest form is plain, but at seventeen dollars he is overs relative to horses he has already measured against. Happy to take him on-side for the exotics and a saver each-way.
