Launceston Race 4 - Impress Print Stakes
BANJO STAR (7) scored a authoritative win when fresh from a break last start over 2200m at this track on June 12, finishing 9 metres ahead of his rivals. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Leading hope in a similar race. ZIHUATANEJO (1) kicked off his career with a win a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 5 metres over 2150m at Bendigo. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Taking on a better field but he will benefit from that last run and is capable of running another big race. AFFAMATO (11) disappointed last time when eighth over 1650m at Bendigo. Can atone. JILLSTIGER (5) ended last prep with a win at this track over 1680m six months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.
