Launceston Race 4 - Kevin Gillies Memorial
HAZEWILLREV (3) won at Burnie two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 2650m at Carrick, beaten 24 metres. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. NEON (2) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 2200m at this track six days ago. WATERMELON SUGAR (6) won two starts back and holds each way appeal.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (FT Fr2) over 2698m at this track, well beaten by Star Major (3:20.10) in NR 80 or better on April 13 at $19. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 3 m win (FT Fr3) at this track (2:44.60) beating We Salute You in NR 65 or better on April 6 at $3.80. Best form puts him right in this.
