Our Launceston Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Assaranca (Launceston Race 9 No. 2)
This four-year-old Nicconi mare has four wins and two places from 11 starts and is going well at the moment. She raced wide with no cover but then put the rest away easily with a four length win over 1600m at Launceston on 6 October, then won by 0.1 length over 1620m at Launceston on 22 October. Three of her wins have been at this track and she looks the leading chance here.

Each Way
Gee Gee Manpower (Launceston Race 7 No. 3):
This five-year-old Wordsmith gelding trained by Stuart Gandy has three wins and eight places from 25 starts. At the end of last campaign he peaked on his run to finish 5.3 lengths 6th over 1400m at Launceston on 2 April, then was spelled for 29 weeks. When resuming he worked home steadily for 2.4 lengths 4th over 1420m at Launceston on 22 October. Generally improves second-up and looks a good each-way bet.

Best Lay
Laylow Pluck (Launceston Race 3 No. 1):
This four-year-old Pluck gelding has placed once from four starts and is the early favourite in this 3YO & up Maiden over 1100m. He chased ahrd for 1.4 lengths 5th over 1200m at Hobart on 24 January, then got to the lead before being grabbed in the final 100m and finishing 1.4 lengths 3rd over 1400m at Hobart on 7 February. Resumes after a 38 week break and has won a trial. Has a big weight and wide draw so am prepared to risk him.

Key Comments There are 6 races on a Good track. The rail is in the true position. Best Bet Bungarribee Lad (Barcaldine Race 6 No. 3) Bungarribee Lad kept coming but couldn’t reel in the leader for 0.5 length 2nd over 1300m at Rockhampton last start.

Key Comments Wagga Cup Day. The Gold Cup is the feature and it is race 7. The best bet is in the feature. Best Bet Fawkner Park (Wagga Riverside Race 7 No. 7) Happy to risk him with the wide draw. Last win was so dominant and you can fan wide and win on this track. Very difficult barrier but backing in Schiller. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Cruizingdafield (Wagga
