Our Launceston Horse Racing Tips for Sunday
Key Comments
Rail: +11m 1200m-W/Post; +7m Remainder
Surface: Soft 6
Notes: First meeting back in Launceston and the rail starts a long way out. Usually a track where those on-speed or on the rail are advantaged, particularly early in the meeting over the sprint trips (due to the shape of the track, and short home-straight). When rain hits the track it can really chop out and they can move towards the outside fence.
Jockeys to follow:
– Brendon McCoull: 18.1%SR @ 18.1% POT @ Launceston
Trainers to follow:
– Glenn Stevenson: 15.8% SR @ Launceston
– Sarah Cotton: 17.2% @ 35.4% POT @ Launceston
Best Bet
Thoros of Myr (Launceston Race 1 No. 1)
Think this is the good thing of the day. Trialled well before resuming here and should lead these and dictate the race. McCoull, Trinder and Launceston – my three favourite things!
$1.80
Best Each Way
Wane’s Quest (Launceston Race 8 No. 3):
Ticking along nicely this campaign. Finds a pretty even bunch here and with Siggy sticking and a lack of speed I can see him controlling the race from a middle draw and giving a strong kick on the turn for home. Hope he can hold them off!
$5.50 (At time of writing) – keen to back on a 2×3 each-way basis.
Best Lay
Rue De Palais (Launceston Race 6 No. 3):
Anchors the market due to his SP profile and last start, all-the-way win. Not convinced that race will be one to follow. Think PRINCESS MATOAKA is the one to beat – looks to have come back well if trial is anything to go by.

Key Comments Expecting all runners to have their chance on this track. The best bet comes up in the last of the day and ticks plenty of boxes to be scoring. Best Bet Reina Isabella (Ballarat Race 8 No. 7) Hasn't missed the quinella over this trip, hasn't missed the placings with Spain riding and is 1/1 third up. Ticks plenty of boxes and only needs even luck from the draw to be winning. Analyst: Bryce Parker
