Launceston Race 3 - Victory Images Photography Pace
TWILIGHT STORM (9) has not raced for six-and-a-half months. Looks forward enough for this return after winning in a recent trial. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row but is sure to be right there at the finish. KING BART (3) disappointed backers at the first run back from a break last start when ninth, beaten 22 metres, over 2200m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and has the talent to take this out. WHERES THE SAVS (1) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1680m here. Include from the pegs draw. A DRAGON FOR JOE (6) resumes. Last appeared when a modest eighth over 1680m at this venue seven months ago. Can run a race while fresh.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 1680m at this track beaten 14 m by Soho Tiger Lily (2:03.40) in 3yo+ on June 21 at $5. Before that, a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 2200m at this track, beaten 11 m by Imperial Sanz (2:43.70) in 3yo+ on June 7 at $26. Leading contender on best form.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Iylac Chamber at Hobart over 2090m in a 3yo+ on June 14 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Soho Tiger Lily at this track over 1680m in a 3yo+ on June 21 at $14. Has a low draw and is one of the contenders.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up won by 2.75 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Newcastle (1:57.40) beating Aiden James in 2yo on November 7 at $2.30. Well-placed for this first-up effort and can make a winning return.
