Launceston Race 8 - Beautide Calcutta Night Sporties Hotel 31 July Pace

ROCKY ROCKS (6) got the job done in emphatic style last start to score by 30 metres at this track over 2200m, that run following a win two starts back at Riverina Paceway. Finds a tougher race but another win is on the cards. AFFAMATO (4) recorded a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1680m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. LIKEYOUFORAREASON (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 10 metres when resuming at Hobart over 2090m. PORT RUN MACHINE (3) ended last prep with a fourth at Carrick over 2150m five months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.
