Launceston Race 8 - Vale Mary Ryan (Bm68)
TURK BOY (4) dropped back to this trip and won a 64 comfortably. He keeps the 3kg claim and is likely to control the race. Keeps improving and can go back-to-back. STARDARMUS (3) is bursting to win and comes back a few levels with a 1.5kg claimer aboard. The rail should be an advantage, and he gets another chance. CAPTAIN CAM (5) deserved his win here in a CL3 and keeps the 3kg claim. He has the outside barrier to manage but should be around the mark. MAKE A DECISION (2) was tough winning the 76 at Hobart, and the 3kg claim remains handy. He can run into it late.

Useful type. At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at this track Bm64 February 26 over 1200m defeating Wheeling with 56kg at $3.70. The run before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 3rd of 7 at Hobart Cl3 Sw on February 16 over 1430m, slow going 1.0 len behind Sandual carrying 59kg at $2.90. Hard to beat.
