Launceston Race 9 - Lafm Beautide Here 1st Of August Pace
POWER UP NZ (2) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 3.5 metres from the winner in second over 2200m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can return to the winners' list. KOSTYUK LEIS (1) turned in a poor effort by her standards last start when 15 metres away in seventh over 2200m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Her recent effort is not a true indication. Good enough to put herself right in the finish. CUZZY BRO (8) was out of the money two runs ago then overcame a break to finish third, beaten 6 metres, over 2698m at this track two weeks ago. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Beautifully placed and is sure to be thereabouts again. UNMATCHED (7) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 2200m at this track.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind Unmatched at this track over 2200m on June 7 at $3.70. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 3rd (FT Fr1) over 2698m at this track, beaten 7 m by Stepping Stones (3:26.00) on May 24 at $10. Well-drawn and expected to bounce back.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Colby Sanz at Hobart over 2090m on May 31 at $1.95. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Unmatched at this track over 2200m on June 7 at $4.40. Has a nice draw and expected to figure prominently again.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start posted a big 3.5 m win when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:46.80) beating Power Up in on June 7 at $7. Hard to leave out on current form. Has to be included.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fifth behind Rockandahardplace at Hobart over 2579m on May 17 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Bettablack Tiger at this track over 2698m on June 7 at $17. Looks very hard to beat.
