Launceston Race 6

Ben Englund Plastering Division1

Stake: -

FAY (8) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts four wins and two placings. Recorded a 2.5 lengths win (19.31) in a Grade 5 last time at Hobart. Rates a leading player. GAWLER GIRL RUBY (1) turned in a fair run last time from the squeeze finishing fifth by 3 lengths (20.07). Has a good record here at this journey. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from eight attempts. Bold showing expected. BUCKLE UP MAJEL (5) has a strong record this trip with five wins and four placings from 15 starts. Missed the frame latest (19.90) when fifth over 340m at Hobart in a Grade 3/4. Can hit the frame with the right run. ONCE A DREAM (2) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Placed last time (26.30) at Hobart in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 6 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from seven starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Was out of placings last time (19.90) at Hobart in a Grade 3/4, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths. Has two successes and five minors from 10 starts from box 5. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
