Our Launceston Horse Racing Tips for Friday.
The track is a Soft 5 and the rail is out 5 metres the entire circuit. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with an advantage to those who find the inside lanes in the straight.
Best Bet
Swoop There It Is (Launceston Race 4 No. 5)
This 4YO mare out together 2 impressive 1600m wins at Launceston then Hobart before stepping up to 2100m and rising in grade to finish 6th at Hobart. She goes back to BM 68 here and has a good record at Launceston. Should be hard to beat.

Best Each Way
Miss Darkside (Launceston Race 3 No. 10)
Miss Darkside stepped up to 1600m for the first time last start and finished 0.5 length 2nd at Hobert on 29th December. She should be near the speed and looks a solid each-way chance.
