Launceston Race 4 - Night Racing Grand Finale 17Th April Hcp (C2)
ROYAL DETECTIVE (7) is a former Canberra galloper who kicked off for the new yard with a fast finishing win over 1100m in his first run in Tassie. Fitter and although yet to win this longer trip, the way he found the line fresh looks well placed for back-to-back wins. WHO'S IN DEV (3) has been racing in great form this campaign with two wins and two seconds, the latest a Class 1 win this course and distance. More weight but hard to knock and will go close again. ILOVETHISTOWN (2) wasn't far away last time when fourth behind WHO'S IN DEV. Meets the winner better at the weights and expected to feature. GEEGEE STRAWBERRY (8) is close to a win. Just missed the latest and will go close with a repeat. SKELMORLIE (5) has ability and has placed 2/2 fresh. Keep safe.
