Launceston Race 9 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm Pace
COMINSKI LEIS (2) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1680m at this track, finishing second and just a head from the winner. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. LAINEY (4) has not raced for three-and-a-half months. Looks forward enough for this return after a minor placing in a recent trial. Sure to be right there at the finish. KAYBEE (3) went a solid race tom finish fourth last start and has place prospects. CHARLI PIPPEN (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 2200m at this track last time out.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Remmington at this track over 1680m on July 5 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Omybacnknees Judge at Hobart over 2090m in a 3yo+ on July 12 at $5. Will give a good account.
