Launceston Race 9 - Tasmanian Horse Transport Pace
KINGOFTHEKLONDIKE (7) was without a win before displaying pleasing improvement last start to score by 4.5 metres over 2200m at this track two weeks ago. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating once more. NOT YET MUM (8) finished second at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 2150m at Carrick, beaten 40 metres. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. IDEN OLIVER (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 3.5 metres when resuming at Hobart over 2090m. KOSTYUK LEIS (3) was a game winner over 1670m at Carrick two runs ago. Include in all combinations.

Solid performance when a close third behind Sunshine Saint at Carrick over 1670m in a 3yo+ 1-2 LTW's on January 26 at $23.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Norbet at this track over 1680m in a 3yo+ 1 LTW on January 31 at $7. Each way value.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr1) over 2200m after showing early speed at this track beaten 60 m by Beat Sweet (2:42.70) in NR up to 65 M on February 8 at $26. Showed ability the race before when she won by 11 m when quickly away, (Fr3) at Carrick (2:04.20) beating Lewicki Leis in 3yo+ MAIDEN on January 26 at $12.20. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Forward performance expected.
