Our Launceston Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting. The feature is the Listed Tasmanian Newmarket Handicap (race 5).
Turk Warrior (Launceston Race 4 No. 1)
This three-year-old Outreach gelding trained by Glenn Stevenson is unbeaten, with six wins from six starts. He outsprinted the field for a 3.25 length win over 1200m at Hobart on 2 May, then ran a similar race for a 2 length win in the Tasmanian Sires Produce over 1400m at Hobart on 16 May.Resumes here after 28 weeks and won a Launceston trial by 4.5 lengths. Should continue on his winning way.

Each Way
I’m Wesley (Launceston Race 5 No. 2):
This I Am Invincible gelding is nine-years-old now and has 15 wins and 14 places from 47 starts. Three of those wins were the 2017, 2018 and 2019 editions of this race which makes him the only horse to have won the Tasmanian Newmarket Handicap three times. He hasn’t raced for 94 weeks but has won three lead-up trials. Maybe I’m being sentimental but I think he will go well and am making him my best each-way bet.

Schauffele (Launceston Race 2 No. 2):
This four-year-old Redente gelding trained by Tanya Hanson at Longford has placed once from six starts and is the early favourite in this 3YO & up Maiden over 1200m. He battled on steadily for 6.7 lengths 6th over 1247m at Geelong then had a 14 week let-up before running home nicely for 3.6 lengths 8th over 1100m at Launceston on 27 October. Offers no value and others look better bets.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments There are 9 races on a Good track. The rail is +2 metres from the 600m to the 300m and true for the remainder. Best Bet Time To Launch (Dalby Race 4 No. 4) This mare has placed at all 4 starts this preparation. She’s drawn ideally and should be able to lose her maiden status.

Key Comments 8 race card on a good 4 track. The best bet is in the first and looks placed to win off the back of a sound return off a long break. Best Bet Media World (Kembla Grange Race 1 No. 3) This 2yo Colt was sound first up without much luck and looks set for better races than this. Can get the dream run from barrier 1 and break maiden in what is a handy field. Check odds on SmartB

Key Comments The rail is in 3 metres and the track is heavy. Just 6 races on the small card and the best bet is in the first. Best Bet Grand Horizon (Taree Race 1 No. 3) Gets barrier 1 and this 4yo Mare boasts 2 placings on the track and looks nicely placed against this bunch. Set to peak and looks primed to get another win and should do no work from the draw. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB
