Launceston Race 3 - Ladbrokes Blackbook Stakes

RAY DAN (1) is racing well with eight top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at this track over 2698m. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of continuing his fine form. SABINE (5) was successful at her most recent outing by 3 metres at this track over 1680m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she has the ability to mix it with them. GLENLEDI ELVIS NZ (8) did a good job to finish in the minor placings two runs back then things went sour last time when he broke and finished a long way back in tenth over 2698m at this track. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Only needs to get things right to be in the money. VANQUISH STRIDE NZ (6) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fifth at this track over 2200m.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Lougle at this track over 1680m in a NR 65 to 74 on March 29 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Triedtotellya at this track over 2698m in a NR 70 or better on April 4 at $17. Should be in the finish.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (10m Fr1) over 2698m at this track, beaten 15 m by Triedtotellya (3:22.40) in NR 70 or better on April 4 at $13. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 11 m as favourite (Fr6) at Hobart (2:35.10) beating My Way in NR 64 to 80 on March 25 at $2.20. Can improve sharply.

Well-beaten 15 days ago at this track over 2698m, before that 7th (Fr7) over 2200m after being wide early at this track beaten 22 m by Magic Joe (2:42.90) in NR 75 to 105 on March 29 at $31. This looks far too tough.

Before that, 5th (FT Fr2) over 2698m at this track, beaten 2.25 m by Gordons Bay (3:24.40) in No NR on April 4 at $11. One of the likely contenders.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into tenth behind Southern Luck at this track over 2698m in a No NR on March 22 at $9. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 2579m after showing early speed at Hobart, beaten 8 m by Celebrity Royal (3:07.80) in No NR on February 28 at $71. Better than last start and deserves another chance.
