Launceston Race 5 - The Baker Group 3Yo Cup 21St November (Bm68)

CHICANE (3) is third-up and ready to fire for the Trinder stable. Ran on okay here last time over 1400m and his form over this distance range is strong. Maps well and the 2kg claim brings him right into it. TUSKEGEE (4) was quickly back in the winner's circle this grade on the synthetic and hit the line well. Steps up to a middle distance and in his current form that shouldn't be an issue. The leading rider stays aboard and will give him every chance. VINO NOVELLO (5) is a lightly raced improver who impressed winning a CL1 on the synthetic over the 1880m. He can't be ruled out building on that effort. METAVERSE (1) is a leader who needed the first up run over 1800m on the synthetic in better class. He's won second up and the inside barrier and 4kg claim both advantage.
