Best Bets
Our Launceston Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Videmanette (Launceston Race 7 No. 7)
This four-year-old Al Maher mare has two wins and two places from 12 starts and is going well at the moment. She raced three wide with no cover but kept finding for 0.5 length 2nd over 1600m at Hobart on 14 March, then won by 3,5 lengths over 1600m at Hobart on 28 March. She had her first win at this track back in June and looks the leading chance here.

Each Way
Border Protection (Launceston Race 3 No. 1):
This five-year-old gelding trained by Adam Trinder has two wins and 15 places from 25 starts and has ran 3rd at his last three starts. He was held up in the ruck before getting clear late to finish 0.3, 0.75 lengths 3rd over 1200m at Launceston on 21 February, then was out sprinted when 1, 3 lengths 3rd over 1200m at Launceston on 24 March. He doesn’t win out of turn but has a great place strike rate and looks a solid each-way bet.

Best Lay
Sh’bourne Renegade (Launceston Race 6 No. 3):
This four-year-old Wordsmith gelding has six wins and a place from 19 starts and is the early favourite in the Tasmanian St Leger over 2150m. He finished 0.1 length 2nd in a tight 3-way finish in the Group 3 Launceston Cup over 2400m on 24 February, then battled away for 5.6 lengths 5th over 2500m at Moonee Valley on 13 March. He drops in distance but is no value at the current short price.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Monday 12th May 2025
Key Comments The best bet put in a very good run on debut and will be tough to stave off in its second career start. Expecting all runners to have their chance on this typically fair playing track. Best Bet Shortcut (Murwillumbah Race 2 No. 8) Great effort on debut and finds a race lacking depth here. Drawn well and ticks plenty of boxes to be taking this affair out and should be well backed come race day. Analyst: Bryce

Key Comments Track suits on speed runners. The best bet resumes from a break and ran a superb run on debut. Should take beating and warrants a market check. Best Bet Trembles (Mornington Race 2 No. 6) Very good on debut in open company. Off a long spell and should be giving this a real shake fresh from the pole position. Keep an eye on the market.

Key Comments The track is in the good range. Keen on the best bet who has the talented apprentice aboard and will take holding out. Best Bet Lockdown Gamble (Mudgee Race 5 No. 1) Racing well and put the writing on the wall fresh. Looks very hard to beat off the back of last start in open company and appeals at the odds.

Key Comments The feature race is the Group 3 $200,000 Northam Stakes over 1300 metres (race 8). The track is rated good and the rail is +2 metres the entire circuit.See our runner-by-runner preview for the 2025 Northam Stakes. Best Bet The Boss Lady (Northam Race 8 No. 10) Ran 1.8 lengths 6th in The Quokka after a win in the Group 3 Roma Cup over 1100m at Ascot on 12th April. Has won at Northam before and is a strong chance.
