Launceston Race 1

Faithful Park Stud Two-Year-Old

Prize Money: $14,000

HEZA RIPPER (7) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1680m at this track. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. I GOTTA GO (5) was responsible for a far better performance when second up last time out, finishing third over 1680m at this track. Meets a similar lineup so he can add to the sound recent effort. SOHO TUXEDO (2) should be at his peak for this. Finished second over 1609m at Hobart at the latest appearance a week ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. TWILIGHT STORM (6) is a two-year-old filly from the K E Rattray stable on debut. Was not far away in a recent trial. Any push in betting will add to the confidence.

Solid performance when a close second behind Rocky Stride at this track over 1680m in a 2yo MAIDEN on August 10 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Solo Safari at Hobart over 1609m in a 2yo NMT 1 LTW on August 17 at $4.60. Form sound and certainly one of the contenders.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind High Believer at this track over 1680m in a 2yo MAIDEN on July 20 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Rocky Stride at this track over 1680m in a 2yo MAIDEN on August 10 at $5.50. Fitter and ready to win.
