Launceston Race 9 - Ladbrokes Same Race Multi Division3

CHALUPA BATMAN (2) turned in a solid run last start over 300m at Healesville finishing 5th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (17.17). The form out of last race has been strong. Worth another chance. RICO BALBOA (7) is better than last start when sixth (19.93) in a Grade 5 at Hobart over 340m. One of the main contenders. PRESSING MATTERS (1) copped a check in the run finishing out of the placings when a 5.5 lengths fourth (16.50) in a Grade 5 at this track. Key player if finds best. DUSTY RICO (8) is a last-start placegetter here at this trip - worth considering.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 4.5 lengths in 16.43, beating Night Rod. Last start finished last in a Grade 5 on February 11 over 278m at this track behind Dream Once beaten 16 lengths (17.28). Hard to entertain this time.
