Launceston Race 5 - Lees Orchard Pace
TWILIGHT BEACH (4) finished third at her most recent outing, beaten 6 metres, in a nice return to form at Hobart over 2090m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Her recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. ITSMENOTU (1) ran fifth last start at this track over 2200m, beaten 25 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (5) disappointed last time when seventh over 2200m at this track. Can atone. RANIERI (9) could only finish seventh over 2200m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Carried through her consistent form from last preparation when first-up last start. Returned to racing with a 5th (Fr2) over 2200m at this track beaten 25 m by Can Do Magic (2:43.90) in 3yo+ NMT 2 LTW's FM on May 11 at $5.50. Watch for a big spike in form.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr3) over 2200m after racing wide at this track beaten 35 m by Grinning Again (2:42.70) in NR 50 to 53 on May 16 at $101. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr4) over 1680m after racing wide at this track beaten 35 m by Lou Baby (2:02.00) in NR 53 to 58 on May 11 at $101. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 2090m at Hobart, beaten 6 m by Rock The Tableau (2:36.90) in NR 50 to 52 on May 18 at $6.50. Will be right in the thick of things.
