Launceston Race 9 - Find Us On Facebook And Instagram Stakes
WHERE IT BEGAN (1) has been most impressive of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 2090m at Hobart, getting home by 6 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and he can grab another win. TAPPY (2) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 2090m at Hobart, beaten 4 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MOVESLIKEALADY (10) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 2090m at Hobart two weeks ago. LETSGOBRO (9) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1680m at this track two weeks ago.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Hobart both over 2090m. Last start won by 6 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Hobart (2:33.30) beating Sport Watcher in on November 8 at $1.60. Winning prospects.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Tullah Girl at Hobart over 2090m on October 16 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Where It Began at Hobart over 2090m in a 3yo on October 31 at $14. One of the better chances.

Last start 9th (Sr1) over 2200m at this track beaten 30 m by Port Run Machine (2:40.10) on October 18 at $31. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr6) over 1680m at this track beaten 7 m by Weona Eagle (2:01.20) on September 27 at $20. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind County Court Judge at this track over 1680m on October 18 at $6. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after showing early speed, behind Laid Back at this track over 1680m on November 1 at $18. Solid top-three prospects.
