Gold Coast Poly Race 6 - Lawrence & Hanson Lismore & Ballina (Bm58)
LAUNCHER (6) is a clear danger after charging home from well back to win a BM55 at this track, and his distance and synthetic records support the rise to this grade. TRANSGRESS (5) hasn't been far away in stronger recent assignments, with a wide run and interference last start at Ipswich adding merit to a 2.5L-defeat. LENNYSTAR (8) brings honest country CL2 form, including a Lismore win and a Casino third. Her synthetic record keeps her in the mix. BLITZGAL (2) was good fresh but has failed to go on with it since. Stable will be hoping the move north can spark her back up.

Resumes after a four-month break having finished last campaign with consecutive wins, taking a Mdn at Gold Coast before beating Mahuika Maroi in a Class 1 at Ballina on heavy ground. Those wins showed good tactical speed, but this is a harder assignment and he has not raced around 1540m. Has more to prove.

Drops back from mid-week FM BM72 grade after finishing second last at Warwick Farm, beaten over 13 lengths at big odds and making no late impression. She was also last in a BM64 at Randwick-Kensington two runs back after being bumped early. One of the main chances on best form but needs to find it.

Won his Mdn at this track last start in decisive style, scoring by four and a half lengths as a short odds-on favourite with plenty up the sleeve. That followed a head third at Gatton, where he worked home evenly after racing keenly. Tougher in BM58 company, but the profile is solid for a placing.

Had genuine excuses at Ipswich last start, racing wide throughout and being steadied before finishing sixth, beaten two and a half lengths over 1350m. His previous fifth in a Class 3 at Lismore was also sound, beaten two lengths as a well-supported favourite. New trip is the query, but the form reads well enough.

Produced the right finish to win a BM55 at this track last start, overcoming a slow beginning and coming from well back to beat Coco Jewel by just over a length. That was a clear turnaround from his Lismore seventh, and he now returns to a set-up where he has won at this track and distance. Class rise is there, but he is a major threat.

Comes here in the right form, having won well at Lismore two back before finishing third in a Class 2 at Casino, beaten two and a half lengths after being run down late. That latest country effort was in easier meeting grade, but she is race fit, third-up and has one win and one placing from four synthetic starts. Synthetic record is useful and she stays in the winning mix.

Returns from a two-month freshening after breaking through in a Gold Coast Mdn, beating Five Of Us by just over two lengths despite some early and mid-race manners issues. She was runner-up at Beaudesert before that at big odds, so the form has improved this campaign. Wide draw and distance set-up temper the win case.

Led and held second behind Launcher in a BM55 at this track last start, beaten just over a length, which was her best recent effort. The start prior she also led here but tired into fifth after being unwanted in betting. Her track-and-distance record is respectable, with two wins and five placings from 15 attempts, but the class rise and long winning drought make her hard to endorse strongly. Looking to others.
