Our Launceston Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Julius (Launceston Race 4 No. 1)
This four-year-old Time For War gelding has three wins from four starts. He never really looked likely when 7.85 lengths 8th over 1200m at Launceston on 23 October, then resumed after 17 weeks for a 1.75 length win over 1100m at Launceston on 24 February. He looks to have more class than the others in this field and should win again.
raced away to the line for a 6 length win over 2100m at Launceston on a soft track on 10 February, then kept going for a 3 length win over 2100m at Launceston on 24 February to bring up 3 wins in a row. He is flying at the moment and at this track and distance he should win again.

Each Way
Needadollarbill (Launceston Race 5 No. 1):
This four-year-old Wordsmith gelding has one win and four places from ten starts. He was very close when 0.2 length 2nd over 1350m at Devonport on 16 August, then only ground home for 3.85 lengths 4th over 1350m at Devonport on 30 August. Resuming here after 29 weeks he is primed to go and has trialled very well. He looks a nice each-way bet.

Best Lay
Ravage (Launceston Race 2 No. 1):
This five-year-old Anacheeva gelding has two wins and seven places from 15 starts and is the early favourite in this BM 60 handicap over 1600m. He finished 0.1, 0.2 length 3rd in a tight finish over 1400m at Launceston on 21 February, then only got going late for 0.2, 0.5 length 3rd over 1390m at Hobart on 14 March. He is up in weight and offers no value here.
