Launceston Race 5 - WAYSIDE BUTCHERY Division1
IVORY JAPAN (1) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when second (26.27) at Hobart and may be close to breaking through. Has a good record here at this journey. Leading chance again. ADHANA KEVIN (5) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 11 lengths at this track in a handy 29.52 beating Cayman Danger. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Has put together a string of wins and expected to go close again. PROMISES MADE (2) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when second beaten 4 lengths (30.03). Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Expected to be in this for a long way.
