Launceston Race 7

The Bottle-O Hadspen Pace

Prize Money: $14,000

AMELIAS JEWEL (2) scored last start by 2.75 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 2200m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Won't find this any harder and she can go right on with the job. LIKEYOUFORAREASON (4) scored a authoritative win when fresh from a spell last time out over 2090m at Hobart on April 24, finishing 5 metres ahead of his rivals. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. ZOE ELLA (3) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance over 1680m at this track. HIGH BELIEVER (7) last appeared when fourth over 1680m at this track five-and-a-half months ago. Fresh-up must be respected.

Comments

Two back was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Rainbow Ranger at Hobart over 2090m in a 3yo+ NMT 2 LTW's on April 10 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Just Lika Dream at this track over 1680m in a NR 48 to 52 on May 1 at $1.50. Hard to beat.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Three-year-old colt who is racing well. Good first up, posted a big 5 m win (Fr2) at Hobart (2:38.50) beating Barber Shop in 3yo+ NMT 3 LTW's on April 24 at $2.80. Should prove very hard to beat again.

Last start 7th (Fr4) over 2090m at Hobart, beaten 45 m by Barber Shop (2:32.70) in 3yo+ NMT 3 LTW's on May 3 at $27. Two runs back won by 2 m (Fr6) at this track (2:03.90) beating Rocky Stride in 2yo NMT 2 LTW's on November 29 at $6.50 at the bell was 5th-7.3m on the pegs. Strips fitter and is a solid top-three chance.
