Launceston Race 5 - Vixpiz Broadcast Services Stakes
DANGER PLAY (1) form has been hard to fault since returning from a spell. Finished third at her latest appearance over 1609m at Hobart, beaten 2.25 metres after doing work in the run, before that a first-up win at Hobart. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up and she can take this out. ANGELSHAVTIME (6) was responsible for a good effort at her latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 2200m at this track on April 27. Meets a comparable field and she can go right on with the job but will need a good drive. HES APPLES (7) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1680m. Genuine threat. KOSYGIN LEIS (2) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1680m at this track on April 19.

Beaten favourite last start when third at Hobart on April 25. Proved too good the start before at Hobart on April 4. Should prove tough to roll again.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:44.10) beating Gypsy Amour in NR 46 to 52 on August 11 at $3.50. Solid top-three prospects.

Resuming after a spell of five months. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Spot Ruler at this track over 2200m in a 4yo+ NMT 5 LTW's M on December 1 at $20. Best figures should see her go well.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Mon Soleil at this track over 2200m in a NR 50 to 54 on April 13 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Sabine at this track over 1680m in a NR 54 to 58 on April 27 at $8. Sure to play a major role.

Last start 5th (Fr6) over 2200m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 18 m by Knock Out (2:42.40) in NR 59 to 63 on April 27 at $10. At his previous start 8th (Fr6) over 1680m at this track, beaten 21 m by Killarney Dance (2:03.20) in NR 60 to 64 on April 19 at $7.50. Certainly worth another chance.
