Launceston Race 4 - Ladbrokes Launceston Cup Wed 25Th February (Bm60)
NGAPALI BEACH (5) peaks off two threatening efforts at this track/trip. Was backed off the map here last time and keeps the premier hoop. She should be at peak fitness and can make amends. STARS IN THE NIGHT (4) is a leader who beat the above home two back before fading late beaten 2L here in better class. Has to carry a lot more weight, but the in-form apprentice will give her every chance. RED SPHERE (1) comes out of the same race beaten 3.6L. Her win at this level three back stacks right up, and the 2kg claim brings him right into it. NAZORIAN (6) peaks and will use the inside barrier. He's also going well enough to consider.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 10 at Hobart Bm60 on November 23 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Alpine Thunder with 59.5kg at $5.50. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track Bm60 October 31 over 1100m in soft going defeating Nazorian carrying 58kg at $3.50. Rates highly. Should be around the mark.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 10 at Hobart Bm60 on November 23 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Alpine Thunder carrying 58.5kg at $14. The run before that held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track Bm60 on October 31 over 1400m, slow going 1.75 len behind Baybougg with 58.5kg at $4.80. Risking.

Last start came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 7 at this track Bm60 on November 12 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Stars In The Night carrying 58kg at $1.80. The race before that got back early 3rd in a small field at this track Cl4 Sw on October 31 over 1200m, slow going 1.5 len behind Sky Land with 55kg at $5. Deserves another chance.
