Launceston Race 2 - Ladbrokes Mates Mode Pots Pace
ARMA ROLLING STONE (4) finished fifth last start, beaten 14 metres at Hobart over 1609m after settling to far back. Meets a similar line up so he will be hard to beat. MACHS MARETA (6) made it two wins from her last three outings a week ago, getting home by 12 metres over 2090m at Hobart. Her last-start form is good enough to put her right in the finish. ROLLIN MARY (1) is the next best after finishing third over 2090m at Hobart last time out. SOULWRITER (5) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 2200m at this track.

Will be hard to beat again.

Lines up again after a break of three months. Well beaten at the end of her last preparation when sixth unwanted in the market behind Lets Go Lucylou. Recent trials will help bring her on but she will take a lot from this run.

Well beaten last start by Machs Mareta, who he meets again; when 25 metres seventh at Hobart over 2090m in a NR up to 39 race on April 25. Hard to make a case.
