Launceston Race 5

Wayne Rattray Two-Year-Old Classic

Prize Money: $20,000

BRIDWOOD MAISEY (2) finished a neck from the winner in second at this track over 1680m last start at her first career run. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. LIKEYOUFORAREASON (3) scored by a neck at this track over 1680m last start at his first career run. Taking on a better field but he will benefit from that last run and has winning claims. RAINBOW RANGER (7) ended last prep with a win at Hobart over 1609m nine weeks ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. Something for the Multiples: ROCKY STRIDE (4)

Racing consistently. Last start won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:04.10) beating Soho Tuxedo in 2yo MAIDEN on August 10 at $2.25 at the bell was leading 3.8m on the pegs. Improvement in store and expected to measure up again.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at Hobart well beaten by Kiavino Stride (1:58.20) in NR 50 to 52 on September 26 at $4.20. Showed ability the run before when he won by 3.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at Hobart (1:59.60) beating Soho Tuxedo in 2yo NMT 1 LTW on August 17 at $1.55 at the bell was 4th-5.4m 2WWC.

Began his campaign last start running broke in score up and was out of position at the start 3rd (Fr1) over 1680m at this track beaten 12 m by Queen Anastasia (2:05.00) in 2yo MAIDEN on September 28 at $3.50. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
