Notes: The Launceston track has recently undergone some repairs and has raced well thus far this season.

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

Key Comments The rail is in the true position. The best bet comes up in the second race. The track is heavy so keep an eye on conditions. Best Bet Hold (Goulburn Race 2 No. 4) The best bet comes up in the second race. Likeable first up win and handles the wet conditions which is a big tick here. Taking on the favourite who had 3 goes in the heavy for no placings. Not much between them in the market. Check

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is on the first of the day and looks well placed to notch up its maiden win. Best Bet Superior Zara (Benalla Race 1 No. 8) Hard to beat resuming and the market should tell the story late. This 3yo Filly strikes the ideal race to break through and brings a strong ratings profile in comparison to the field. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker

Key Comments There are 7 races on a good track where the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Xpresso (Ipswich Race 5 No. 3) Won at this track and distance first-up this campaign then put in a good run at Eagle Farm second-up where he was bumped and struck interference. Should race on the speed and be hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way All's Fair (Ipswich Race 6
