Launceston Race 4

Prize Money: $3,415

STORM SIGNAL (3) flew the lids from the middle with an impressive turn of foot, going on to clock 16.20 when a 0.8 lengths winner over 278m at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. HIGHGATE LASS (8) was sent out big odds last time but scored an upset win in a Other at this track (16.53). Has a good record at this journey. Should be in this for a long way. NIGHT ROD (1) looks an each-way chance. Something for the Multiples: TWICE BITTEN (9)

Was out of placings last time (20.28) at Hobart in a Other, finishing fourth and beaten 10 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and six minors. Suited here and expected to run well.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (16.68) over 278m at this track. Draws an inside box and capable of a better result.

Solid performance to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 278m (16.20) beating Blackwood Echo in Other on June 2. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Finished second at big odds last time (20.07) over 340m at Hobart. Squeeze draw to overcome. Looking to others.
