Launceston Race 9

Fast Minardi At Stud Division2

Stake: $3,742

NO DEAL (3) has a strong record this journey here with four wins and a minor from six starts. Scored by 0.8 lengths last time (16.04) in a Grade 5 over 278m at this track. Rates a leading player. I'VE GOT SPARK (1) was in the minors two back (19.87) at Hobart but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Form here at the trip sound including six wins. Cannot be underestimated. MY GIRL TENIKA (5) finished in the minors last start over the 278m at this track but ran a handy 16.09 last start. Harder here but expected to measure up. GAWLER GIRL RUBY (2) is in the mix after placing last time out.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner scoring by one length in a Grade 4 at Hobart and clocking a brilliant 19.34 for the 340m trip. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.

Poor last start but ran a better race two back when fourth over 278m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
