Launceston Race 1 - Mcgrath Foundation Stakes
MY BETTOR HALF (2) turned in another fine effort last start when she scored over 1680m at this track, coming in 6 metres ahead of her rivals. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and she can add to her recent outstanding results. MCMAYHEM (5) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his success last start, scoring by 10 metres over 2200m here. His last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. TAMBROS TILLY (4) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this circuit over 2200m. Top-three credentials. ROCKY STRIDE (3) is better than his last-start seventh over 1680m at this venue. Worth another chance.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third behind My Bettor Half at this track over 1680m on May 10 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Our Willow at this track over 2200m in a 4yo+ M on May 24 at $2.80. Rates highly. Sure to be thereabouts again.
