Launceston Race 2 - Bevan Lees Butchery Stakes
WEE GEORGIE WOOD (2) put together some minor placings then raised his game last start to score by a head over 1680m at this track on September 13. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. ROCKY STRIDE (4) finished second last start over 2200m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1680m at this track. Won't find this any harder and he can give this a mighty shake. BEARHUNTA (5) broke in the run and finished a distant ninth when resuming last start over 1609m at Hobart. Beautifully placed and can make amends. OUR WILLOW (1) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 2200m.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 2200m at this track, beaten 8 m by Vivid Dream (2:42.20) in 3yo+ on September 13 at $26. Decent effort last start. With even luck is a winning chance.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr4) over 2200m at this track well beaten by Vivid Dream (2:42.20) in 3yo+ on September 13 at $41. Before that was well back in the run when 4th (Fr7) over 1680m at this track, beaten 19 m by Didyalousaroosta (2:01.80) in 3yo+ on August 30 at $51. Prefer others.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m second behind Vivid Dream at this track over 2200m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten a head second again at this track over 1680m same class on August 30. Among the top chances again.

Lacklustre performance first-up beaten 40 m ninth behind Remmington at Hobart over 1609m in a 3yo+ on September 20. Well-placed and should improve sharply.
