Our Launceston Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Take The Sit (Launceston Race 3 No. 2)
This four-year-old mare has three wins and two places from nine starts. She resumed from a 15 week spell to finish 2 lengths 2nd over 1200m at Hobart on 7 February, then she finished best out wide for a length win in the Magic Millions 3YO & 4YO race over 1400m at Launceston on 21 February. Her last race suggests the extra distance will suit, and she can make it back-to-back wins.

Skilendra (Launceston Race 5 No. 9):
This five-year-old Skilled mare has had six starts for three places and has never finished further back than 5th. She was wide with no cover early before chasing hard for 3.35 lengths 4th over 1400m on 25 November, then she came from well back for 0.75, 0.4 lengths 3rd over 1400m at Launceston on 9 December. Resuming from a 12 week let-up she gets the winkers on for the first time and looks well worth an each-way bet in this mid-week maiden.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The feature races include the Straight Six (race 7) and the Andrew Ramsden (race 8). The best bet looks well placed to bounce back and very hard to beat if finding its old form. Best Bet Niance (Flemington Race 3 No. 7) Had excuses last start when bungling the jump. Looks really hard to beat if finding its old form and there was so much to like about the wins prior. Looks way over the
