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.

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: WA Wednesday 23rd October 2024
Key Comments There are 8 races on a soft track where the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Mai Aloha (Belmont Race 7 No. 9) She was runner-up at the first 2 starts of her career then went to York last start where she led all the way to win her maiden by 1.5 lengths. William Pike sticks and she looks capable of back-to-back wins. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The track is in the soft 6 range. Looking no further than the first race of the day for the best bet who has trialled up very well and will take a power of beating on debut. Best Bet Socrazyinlove (Orange Race 1 No. 10) Trials have been excellent and the stable have opted for this race as the right target. Collett rides from the good draw, the early market support is ideal and this race looks very much within reach.

Key Comments Expecting on pace runners to be suited on this tight turning track. The best bet will need some luck from the wide draw but does its best racing here. Best Bet Brooklyn Baby (Kyneton Race 7 No. 5) Boasts a strong first up record and very good record at the track. Keating knows the horse very well and he can land it up on speed from the wide draw. Around the $7.50 mark at time of typing is strong odds.

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet has been a model of consistency lately and can score a well overdue win. Expecting the track to suit leaders as it traditionally does. Best Bet Ausbred Cooee (Grafton Race 3 No. 5) Due for a win off back to back placings and this looks if anything, slightly easier than last start despite reading the same grade. In very well at the weights after the claim, flies on this track and
