Our Launceston Racing Tips for Fridays meeting.
The main races are the $100,000 Tasmanian Guineas (race 8) and the Tasmanian Stakes (Race 9).
Hela (Launceston Race 5 No. 2)
This three-year-old filly trained by Scott Brunton has had two starts for two wins. She led all the way and bolted off for a 5.5 length win in a maiden race over 1100m at Hobart on 17 October, then sat outside the leader and pulled away close to the line for a 1.75 length win in a class 1 handicap over 1200m at Launceston on 12 December. Both wins looked very easy and she should remain unbeaten today.

Each Way
Odin’s Folly (Launceston Race 7 No. 6):
This six-year-old mare has raced at Launceston six times for three wins and three places. She was edged out late in the race to finish 0.2 lengths 2nd over 2150m at Launceston on 2 December, then sat close to the lead and pushed ahead to win by 0.5 length over 2100m at Launceston on 16 December. She has such a good record at this track and distance that she is worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
Mandela Effect (Launceston Race 9 No. 2):
This six-year-old Turffontein gelding is the early favourite in the Listed Tasmanian Stakes weight-for-age race over 1600m. He just missed when 0.3 lengths 2nd in the Listed Newmarket Handicap over 1200m at Launceston on 25 November, then came from back in the field for 0.2, 1.5 lengths 3rd in the Listed Conquering Stakes over 1400m at Launceston on 16 December. He has not won in five starts this campaign and does not offer value.

Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is +4 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Hammarmill (Geraldton Race 3 No. 7) Came from well back for a 1.3 length win at this track and distance last start. Up in class but down in weight and looks a major contender. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Bayhara (Geraldton Race 6 No. 8) Came from last to win over 1600m last start
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Saturday 27th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is in the last and is a progressive type looking to notch up another win. Best Bet Code In Time (Kembla Grange Race 8 No. 2) Has been progressive this prep with 2 strong wins. Strikes a similar race and maps well. No reason why it can't win again taking the leap in grade. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Eye
