Launceston Race 5 - Good Friday Racing 18Th April Hcp (C2)
UNCLE'S TIP (2) has been heavily bet both starts this campaign and built on a solid resumption with a comfortable all-the-way win here in a CL1. Sanderson replaces the apprentice and fitter, she can go on with the job. MOHNAR (4) resumes and has switched from a Victorian stable. Her best is good enough, and she's trialled sharply. Has a low gate and the leading hoop aboard. KUSINI (1) resumes and has switched from the top Victorian yard. She has placed 2/3 fresh and is also up to this presented on song. The inside barrier should advantage. WEDNESDAY'S BOSS (5) resumed improved with a CL1 win at Hobart. She'd trialled well and will get every opportunity to go on with the job. CHEROKEE DANCER (3) is back in grade after a solid effort at Hobart. She's been threatening a win, and the 3kg claim brings her into it.

Second-up. First-up after seven months settled well back; won by a neck at Hobart Cl1 March 23 over 1100m in soft going defeating La Virago with 57.5kg at $5. Previously second-up made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 15 at Hobart Mdn-Sw on July 28 over 1100m, slow going 1.5 len behind Rare Oro carrying 56.5kg at $6.50. Still has scope for improvement and is among the better hopes.

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track Cl3 on March 21 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Dancing Wolf carrying 54kg at $26. The run before that won by a long-neck at this track Cl1 March 5 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Fillentina carrying 54kg at $7.50. One to consider.
