Our Launceston Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday.
Rail: +6m (Previously +4m)
Surface: Good
Notes: The Launceston track has recently undergone some repairs and has raced well thus far this season. The rail shifts out further which should lend itself to on-speed runners, drawn inside.
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.
Jockeys to follow:
– Brendon McCoull: 22.7%SR @ 10.9% POT @ Launceston
– Erica Byrne Burke: 18%SR @ 53% POT Last 100 Runners
Trainers to follow:
– Michael Trinder: 13.1%SR @ 31% POT @ Launceston
– Sarah Cotton: 17%SR @ 32.7% POT @ Launceston
Best Bet
Gee Gee Miss Quita (Launceston Race 7 No. 6)
Gets key weight swing on fave who it nearly ran down last start in a small field. Strips fitter 2nd up now and should get a bit more tempo to be strongest late. Maps to stalk fave AZARA everywhere it goes.
$4.20 (at time of writing).
Best Each Way
I’m Keefe (Launceston Race 8 No. 4):
Career best form, and dominant win last start. Unfortunately we cop a negative jockey switch but at least there’s some fat in the price to compensate. Should cross and sit handy, and go close late. If it can get a kind run in transit it looks the value.
$6.50/2.15 (at time of writing) – I will be backing on a 1×2 each-way basis
Best Lay
Cairns (Launceston Race 3 No. 7):
Poor last start and doesn’t look to have developed much physically since 2YO campaign. Happy to be against, in an open race.
LAY (WIN) for 1 unit at < $4.00
