Launceston Race 1 - Ladbrokes Punter Assist Stakes
MACHS MARETA (9) has drawn wide in recent runs. Was responsible for a game effort last time out when successful by 1.1 metres over 2200m at this track. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. This should be an easier assignment so she is a major player. EMER (5) produced another strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to finish second over 1680m at this track. Meets a comparable field and she is a strong winning hope. SOULWRITER (8) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1680m at this track. I WANT IT ALL (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.4 metres at this track over 1680m.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr1) over 2200m at this track, beaten 24 m by Our Miki Diva (2:48.50) in 3yo+ NR up to 63 FM on May 25 at $71. Before that 9th (Fr3) over 1680m at this track, beaten 45 m by Colby Art (2:04.30) in NR up to 44 on May 16 at $31. Others make more appeal.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1680m at this track, beaten 3.5 m by Colby Art (2:04.30) in NR up to 44 on May 16 at $5. Decent effort last start. Has a low draw and should feature prominently.

Solid run when a close second behind Ashante Queen at this track over 2200m in a NR 45 to 49 on May 2 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Family Reasons at this track over 1680m in a NR 45 to 49 on May 16 at $3.30. Among the top chances again.
