Launceston Race 7

Ladbrokes Quick Multi Stakes

Prize Money: $12,000

BETTABLACK TIGER (2) recorded another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish second over 1680m at this track. Will appreciate a return to Launceston where he is always tough to beat. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. GO THE RED (8) has recorded three wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 9 metres from the winner in second over 2579m at Hobart. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. CUSTOM HARLEY (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at Hobart over 2579m. CUZZY BRO (1) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him finish third over 2090m at Hobart.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Go The Red at Hobart over 1609m on August 9 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Go The Red at this track over 1680m on August 30 at $9.50. Solid top-three prospects.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start posted a big 3 m win after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Hobart (3:10.00) beating Go The Red in on August 16 at $26. Looks hard to beat again.

Didn't do much last start, 5th (Fr3) over 1680m after showing early speed at this track beaten 10 m by Go The Red (2:00.90) on August 30 at $17. Before that 10th (Fr5) over 2579m after showing early speed at Hobart, beaten 80 m by Custom Harley (3:10.00) on August 16 at $10. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 2579m at Hobart, beaten 9 m by Horatius Speculo (3:09.30) on September 6 at $2.60. Two runs back posted a big 3.5 m win as favourite (Fr2) at this track (2:00.90) beating Bettablack Tiger in on August 30 at $2.15. Form sound and expected to measure up.
