Our Launceston Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday.
Rail: +4m (Previously +2m)
Surface: Good 4/Soft 5
Notes: The Launceston track has recently undergone some repairs and has raced well thus far this season.
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 @ 11.1% POT @ Launceston
– Erica Byrne Burke: 21%SR @ 69% POT Last 100 Runners
Trainers to follow:

Best Bet
Geegees City Boy (Launceston Race 1 No. 4)
Tough night of racing to find a best bet with any huge conviction, but I really liked the recent trial of GEE GEES CITY BOY where he edged out PUNK PRINCESS late, who has subsequently won 1st up – he was under a firm grip there late and found when the late pressure arrived.
He was well-fancied during his 3YO season and looks to have returned a more seasoned gelding. If he can sit handy and land in behind the leaders I think he has the potential upside to run them down late.
$4.20 (at time of writing).
Best Each Way
Mindful (Launceston Race 2 No. 11):
Pretty open contest in my opinion, and went looking around the short priced favourite STONE COLD STUNNER (who although a touch unlucky last start, is priced far too short vs its ability). MINDFUL is one horse whose gone round at huge prices her last couple starts, and has been hitting the line nicely.
There’s not a huge amount of speed on paper here and with veteran on-speed rider Siggy Carr taking the steer I think she might be able to lob a touch closer from the middle draw, versus last start where she drew wide and was forced to drift back to near last.
I think she’s knocking on the door to break her maiden and with even luck this could be her race.
$11.00/3.00 (at time of writing) – I will be backing at TT/SP on a 1×3 each-way basis
Best Lay
Stone Cold Stunner (Launceston Race 2 No. 12):
Token “unlucky” runner that’s gone up the price of a moral. Not sure Glenn Stevenson has been able to recapture her early Victorian form and with Codi Jordan riding in career worst form (Last 50 Rides – 6% SR @ -70% ROI), I’m happy to oppose given the slightly tricky draw in a big field – will need luck.
LAY (WIN) for 1 unit at < $3.00

Horse Racing Tips: SA Wednesday 14th May 2025
Key Comments The track is rated good and the rail is +4 metres in the 1200m chute and +7 metres for the remainder. Best Bet Kersee (Murray Bridge Race 1 No. 10) She ran 3rd at her only start in a harder 1100m race here on 30th April. She did a few things wrong but hit the line nicely and gets Jake Toeroek this time. Top pick. Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Wednesday 14th May 2025
Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is +3 metres the entire circuit. As the Bat Out Of Hell over 1100m was abandoned at Gold Coast on Saturday it has been added to this meeting as race 7. Best Bet King Boom (Ipswich Race 4 No. 2) He finished 2nd over 1240m at Ipswich when resuming from a 25 week spell, after leading most of the way. Should be fitter now and should be able to go one better.

Key Comments Night racing takes place at Pakenham. The best bet looks very hard to topple in the last and put the writing on the wall last time out. Best Bet Fabrice (Pakenham Race 8 No. 6) Good effort last time out in a race no harder than this. Drawn well, knocking on the door and looks very tough to hold out in this highly suitable affair.

Key Comments Expecting all runners to have their chance on this track. The best bet was a certainty beat last time out and can atone this time around. Best Bet Cathedral Cove (Hawkesbury Race 4 No. 3) Should have won last start when given a howler ride. Maps a little sticky but should be extremely hard to beat with any luck this time around and finds a race lacking depth. Analyst: Bryce Parker
