Launceston Race 7 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm Pace
IMPERIAL SANZ (10) has drawn wide in recent runs. Did a fine job last time out when successful by 11 metres over 2200m at this track. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Tackles a similar assignment and he can feature in the finish. POST LAZARUS (9) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1680m at this track, finishing second and just a neck from the winner. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Primary contender based on that recent effort. IMA LITTLE NEEDY (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2.25 metres when resuming at this track over 1680m. ANGEL ROCKS (6) last appeared when she won by a nose over 1609m at Hobart four-and-a-half months ago. Should be thereabouts.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr1) over 2200m at this track, beaten 9 m by Rock Amour (2:49.10) in 3yo+ on June 12 at $10. Showed ability the run before when she posted a big 7 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:44.00) beating Alby Priddy in 3yo+ on May 29 at $2.40. Winning chance on best form.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 2.25 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:03.50) beating Rock Amour in 3yo+ on June 7 at $3.20. Two runs back 7th (Fr2) over 2200m at this track, beaten 35 m by Miki Sing (2:46.00) in 3yo+ on December 14 at $19. Rates highly and looks hard to beat again.
