Launceston Race 8

Ladbrokes Popular Srm

Prize Money: $9,700

HEZA PUNK ROCKER NZ (5) is a quality gelding who has managed two wins and two minor placings from four starts this time in work. Produced another fine effort last start when he scored over 2200m at this track, coming in a nose ahead of his rivals. This doesn't look as hard, so he is sure to prove tough to beat. SNOWIEWILLREV (2) resumes from a spell of 15 months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1609m at Hobart. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. DAT LOU NZ (3) last appeared when third over 2190m at Shepparton 13 months ago. Keep an eye out for positive market movement. SABINE (4) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at this track over 2200m. Each way value.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind One Big Shew at Hobart over 2090m in a NR 64 to 79 on November 1 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Fun To Love at this track over 2200m in a NR 55 to 63 on November 16 at $4.80. Big chance to go one better.

Didn't do much last time out, 8th (Fr3) over 1609m at Hobart, beaten 70 m by Maninky Moonshine (1:56.40) in NR up to 75 on November 14 at $21. Before that 7th (Fr3) over 2090m after showing early pace at Hobart beaten 60 m by Rock On Playboy (2:34.70) in NR 55 to 59 on November 9 at $21. Likely to struggle again.
