Launceston Race 4

Tassie Wash Pace

Prize Money: $8,000

WAZZA (8) was 2.25 metres away in second at this track over 1680m last start at his first run back from a spell. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Has the talent to take care of this field. HARRYS DEAL NZ (1) finished second last start, beaten 6 metres at this track over 1680m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (10) is the next best after finishing third over 2090m at Hobart last time out. Each-way claims. KIAVINO STRIDE (6) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.5 metres at Hobart over 1609m.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing seventh behind Judith Gwenda at this track over 1680m in a NR 50 to 52 on August 31 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Smooth Reason at this track over 1680m in a NR 50 to 55 on September 28 at $13. Winning prospects.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Kiavino Stride at Hobart over 1609m in a NR 50 to 52 on September 26 at $81. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Moneys No Issue at Hobart over 2090m in a NR 50 to 52 on October 3 at $3.90. Among the major players on his latest effort.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Sr1) over 1680m at this track beaten 9 m by Smooth Reason (2:02.80) in NR 50 to 55 on September 28 at $9. Showed ability the race before when she won by 1.0 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Hobart (2:36.10) beating Shoobees Spirit in NR 50 to 54 on August 29 at $2.60. Solid top-three prospects.

Didn't do much at the last run, 9th (Sr1) over 1609m at Hobart, beaten 85 m by Arma Rolling Stone (1:56.70) in NR 45 to 49 on September 26 at $26. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 2090m at Hobart beaten 23 m by Shoobees Spirit (2:34.70) in NR 50 to 55 on September 21 at $13. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Shoobees Spirit at Hobart over 2090m in a NR 50 to 55 on September 21 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Wind Sock at Hobart over 2090m in a NR 53 to 56 on September 26 at $9. Has the ability to take this out.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at Hobart, beaten 5.5 m by Preparation (1:58.20) in 3yo+ NMT 1 LTW on September 26 at $31. Two runs back won by a head when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (2:02.30) beating Outback Rock in 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 24 at $19 at the bell was 2nd-1m on the pegs. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
