Launceston Race 7 - Thank You Andy & Kate Gath Pace
OMYBACNKNEES JUDGE (3) settled handy then found the lead only to be claimed in the straight and finish second last start over 1609m at Hobart, that run on the back of a good second at this track the run before. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. WINNING BREW (5) turned in a much better run last start when he scored over 1609m at Hobart, getting home by 2.5 metres after leading. Meets a comparable field so he can add to the strong recent effort. IYLAC CHAMBER (8) is in the mix following a fourth at his first run back over 2090m at Hobart. ULTIMATE GLADIATOR NZ (6) will be cherry-ripe after three runs back from a spell, the latest effort a fourth at Hobart two-and-a-half weeks ago.

Didn't do much last time out, 10th (Sr2) over 2200m at this track beaten 80 m by Quarteira (2:41.30) in 3yo+ on September 27 at $91. Before that 5th (Fr1) over 2090m after showing early pace at Hobart beaten 35 m by I Gotta Go (2:37.50) in 3yo+ on September 6 at $31. Hard to have on those efforts.

Solid run when a close second behind Quarteira at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on September 27 at $21. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Queen Anastasia at Hobart over 1609m in a 3yo+ on October 11 at $1.75. Racing well and can go one better.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing sixth behind Donny In Paris at this track over 1680m on August 1 at $61. Then a handy effort when a close second behind High Believer at Hobart over 2090m in a 3yo on October 2 at $13. Nice effort last time. Top chance in this line-up.

Well-beaten 16 days ago at Hobart over 2090m, before that 7th (Fr5) over 1680m at this track, beaten 15 m by Soho Tiger Lily (2:03.70) on September 27 at $21. Not keen on his chances in this field.
