Launceston Race 9

Clarkie Tyres Division3

Prize Money: $3,415

DISFUNCTIONAL (8) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (16.43) at this track behind Nitro Venom in a Restricted WIN. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Leading chance again. STEP ON IT (7) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at Hobart over 461m behind Unleash The Diva (26.82) in a Restricted WIN. Likely to be about the mark. SPICE LADY (3) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (25.13) in a Maiden at Sale latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Well placed here and can atone this time. HANDLE BARS DOWN (1) drops in trip and is worth considering.

Has finished fourth at the last two runs, both at Hobart, the latest when beaten 7 lengths behind Aston Teresa over 461m. Is a danger.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 278m at this track. Others make more appeal.

Has a maiden win to her credit but has been finding it hard to feature subsequently. Last raced when eighth over 278m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Likely to struggle this time.

Latest effort finished 7th on August 4 over 461m at Hobart behind Unleash The Diva beaten 9 lengths (26.82) in a Restricted WIN. Last couple have been below par. Deserves another chance.
