Our Launceston Best Bets for Wednesday.
Best Bet
Quicken Up (Launceston Race 1 No. 4)
Racing in great form and was absolutely torched last start. Think she’ll appreciate Erica Byrne Burke jumping back on, who rates them well out in front and come the turn she should be bolting for home. She was brave leading up a quality field last start and boxed on nicely, should be able to account for this field with a more patient ride out in front.
$4.00

Best Value Bet
Fighting For Gold (Launceston Race 2 No. 8)
Trialled well in a strong field and looked to have more to offer. Scratched last week and opts to come here to debut, think she’s a stronger chance this time and any early money for this camp is only a positive sign for her chances.

Key Comments The track is in the good range. The highlight of the card is the Casteron Cup. The best bet is knocking on the door and will take plenty of beating over the jumps. Best Bet Prismatic (Casterton Race 5 No. 1) Jumps form is good for this. Has been up there behind some smart ones and looks really well placed against these. Short but should get the job done.

Key Comments Race 8 is the $100,000 Racing WA Provincial Championship Series final over 1400 metres (race 8). The track is rated soft and the rail is +2 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Catch Carter (Belmont Race 6 No. 5) Resumed for 3rd over 1000m at Ascot 2 weeks ago. He ran home strongly down the straight and will appreciate the rise to 1200m. Has a good draw and looks a winning chance. Analyst: Jo Jackson
