Launceston Race 7 - Ladbrokes Punter Assist Stakes
ART HUNTSMAN (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.5 metres from the winner in third over 1680m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw and has the talent to take care of this field. POST KEG (1) finished second at his most recent outing, beaten a head, in a far better performance at Hobart over 2090m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role again. EYE SEE AMOUR (10) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1680m here. Should run a big race. LIKEABLE ROGUE (3) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1680m at this course last time out.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 2090m after showing early pace at Hobart, beaten a head by Rainbow Ranger (2:37.20) in 3yo+ on June 14 at $26. Draws the inside and another bold showing is expected.

Two back was second behind Boulder City at this track over 1680m on June 12 at $13. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Muzzame Mate at this track over 1680m on June 21 at $19. One of the primary contenders.

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 2090m at Hobart, beaten 30 m by Itsmenotu (2:34.60) on June 14 at $81. Before that was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 2200m at this track, beaten 17 m by Karalta Artemis (2:44.50) on May 29 at $61. Not keen.

Solid run when beaten by 1.75 m finishing fifth behind Barrett at Redcliffe over 1780m in a 3yo+ on June 3 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing third behind Take Out at Redcliffe over 1780m in a 3yo+ on June 10 at $11. Sure to be thereabouts.

Well-beaten 15 days ago at Albion Park over 1660m, before that was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 1780m after racing wide at Redcliffe, beaten 25 m by Mahindi (2:07.50) in 3yo+ on June 3 at $8. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
