Launceston Race 8 - Victory Images Photography Stakes

SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (3) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 2090m at Hobart, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment, and he can grab a win. MIKIYOURSOFINE (1) ran fifth last start at this track over 2200m, beaten 11 metres. Expect him to be prominent, especially from the pole position. JACK JAMES (2) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1680m. LALIBELA (5) disappointed last time when sixth over 2090m at Hobart. Can do a lot better, so worth considering on an each-way basis.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind No Nukes Skipper at Carrick over 2150m in a NR up to 49 on March 9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second behind Five Star Shark at this track over 1680m in a NR up to 49 on April 19 at $26. Can improve. Top chance in this line-up.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing second after being driven well back, after showing early speed, behind Machs Mareta at this track over 2200m in a NR up to 49 on April 13 at $1.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Goodtime Oscar at Hobart over 2090m in a NR 40 to 44 on April 25 at $2.80. Nicely drawn and expected to run a bold race again.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr4) over 2090m at Hobart, beaten 17 m by Goodtime Oscar (2:35.50) in NR 40 to 44 on April 25 at $6.50. Showed ability the outing before when she posted a big 17 m win (Sr2) at this track (2:03.20) beating Jack James in NR up to 49 on April 19 at $8. This looks a suitable assignment.
