Launceston Race 5

Bevan Lees Butchery Stakes

Prize Money: $9,700

SABINE (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.3 metres from the winner in second over 1680m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. KARALTA ARTEMIS (4) was unplaced two starts ago, then things went amiss last start when he broke and finished 8 metres away in fourth over 2200m at this track. Meets a similar lineup so he is sure to be a force if the manners improve. COUGAR EXPRESS (2) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at Hobart. PUNTARNO STRIDE (8) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good second over 1609m at Hobart two runs back.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after a quick start, behind Mon Soleil at this track over 2200m in a NR 50 to 54 on April 13 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind Mon Soleil at this track over 1680m in a NR 50 to 54 on April 19 at $5.50. Sure to be right there at the business end.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr5) over 1609m at Hobart beaten 15 m by Iden Oliver (1:57.80) in 3yo+ 1-3 LTW's on April 25 at $4. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 2090m after showing early pace at Hobart beaten 5 m by Justify (2:37.40) in 3yo+ NMT 4 LTW's on April 18 at $4.40. Better than last start and from a low draw gets his chance to bounce back.

Last start 10th (Sr5) over 1680m at this track beaten 19 m by Mon Soleil (2:02.00) in NR 50 to 54 on April 19 at $41. Two runs back 5th (Fr7) over 1680m at this track, beaten 9 m by Southpaw Slugger (2:02.50) in NR 55 to 59 on April 13 at $21. This looks a far sterner test.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
