Verdict

BETTABLACK TIGER (2) recorded another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish second over 1 m at this track. Will appreciate a return to Launceston where he is always tough to beat. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. GO THE RED (8) has recorded three wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 9 metres from the winner in second over 1 ?/16m at Hobart. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. CUSTOM HARLEY (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at Hobart over 1 ?/16m. CUZZY BRO (1) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him finish third over 1 ¼m at Hobart.
