Launceston Race 2

Keith Stanley Debutante

Stake: $22,000

BARBER SHOP (4) scored by 5 metres at Hobart over 1609m last start at his first career run. Facing a tougher assignment but he will benefit from that last run and is up to the task. HEZA RIPPER (3) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Hobart. RAINBOW RANGER (1) finished 17 metres back in fourth over 1609m at Hobart recently at his first race start. Strips fitter and can improve. Something for the Multiples: A DRAGON FOR JOE (2)

Two back was beaten by 10 m finishing third behind Major Blitz at this track over 1680m in a 2yo MAIDEN on March 23 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Barber Shop at Hobart over 1609m in a 2yo MAIDEN on April 4 at $2.50. This race appears well within his grasp.

Was on debut a big 5 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Hobart (1:58.80) beating Heza Ripper in 2yo MAIDEN on April 4 at $2.15 at the bell was leading 2.8m on the pegs. Has another win on the radar.
