Launceston Race 2 - Harvey Norman Smeg Raffle Draw 17Th April Mdn Plate
WALTZING MATILDA (7) is a seven-start Victorian maiden who has been thereabouts on the mainland but looks well placed here. Low draw and with the blinkers added should give a sight. MCVEIGH (1) was safely held on debut then raced on speed last time and fought on well for a close-up fourth. Improver who will give a sight again. LIGHT WORK (5) has been winding up late and looks hard to hold out. BASSEIN (4) is having her third race start and the blinkers go on. Wasn't far away after weakening out of it at the latest but can give a sight. MR TOD (2) placed at second outing and with further upside can play a major role again.
