Launceston Race 3 - Ladbrokes Launceston Cup Day Wednesday 25Th February Hcp (C2)
BILLIE THE GREAT (10) is worth following up here. Ran on hard to score last time in what has since proven a very strong form race. Attractively weighted with the claim and that was first run in eight months so can only be fitter. Can measure up again. STAR WALKIN' (5) has been freshened since a fair run last time. Down in the weights and can do much better. ALPINE FURY (1) is a last start winner who led throughout to score. Has a low draw and will take catching again. HARTMAN (3) is a former Water stable galloper who looks ready to win after three runs for the new yard. Gave a sight but was run down late last time over further. Expected be at top now and should be in this for a long way.

Most recently 2nd in a small field at Hobart Bm68 on January 2 over 1200m, on a slow track; head behind Make A Decision carrying 54kg at $3.40. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Hobart Cl4 Sw on December 14 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.0 len behind Skin In The Game with 54kg at $19. Has ability and looks overdue for a win.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign second last of 9 at Hobart Cl2 August 10 over 1600m, soft track; 8 len behind Island Warrior with 54.5kg at $9.50. When resuming last campaign sixth of 8 at Hobart Cl1 November 5 2024 over 1200m, 5 len behind Esprit Diva carrying 58kg at $3.80. Might be better off following this run.

Second-up. First-up after eight months won by 0.5 len at Hobart Cl1 December 28 over 1200m defeating Geegees Legacy with 52kg at $10. Previously second-up made some head-way from midfield; 4th of 14 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 26 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Peak A Boom with 56kg at $6.50. Still has scope for improvement and should be right in the mix.
