Launceston Race 8

Ben Englund Plastering Division2

Prize Money: $4,245

BRING IT (1) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 515m behind Very Sneaky (30.95) in a Grade 5. Placed at his previous run. Better than last start and worth following up. SET THE TONE (7) boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 1.75 lengths (26.37) behind Set Alight at Hobart. Hard to beat again. STARDUST LAD (2) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (26.50) at Hobart. Can feature again. WELLINGTON SALIX (4) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to turn the form around.

Placed last time (26.50) at Hobart in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed six times. Looks suited and should go close.
