Launceston Race 1

Thank You John Mckenna Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $25,000

Small field but a tough race. THE REAL MAN (3) is a former Victorian who makes his Tassie debut. Best figures stack right up this line-up and with good speed should be in this for a long way. LAWRENNY BOYS (2) looks the main danger. Has placed in three of his last four, the latest on speed here at the same trip. Drawn the outside but will dash forward and take catching. UNA PALOMA BLANCA (4) made late ground last time and is sure to be thereabouts again. Same goes for AWESOME ORPHAN (6) who was outdashed but kept coming here last time. LARAMANA (1) is one to watch. First starter who was narrowly beaten in only trial and is worth watching for a market move.

Recent form sound. Last start sat on the pace when 3rd of 9 at Hobart Mdn-Sw on March 22 over 1100m, 2.25 len behind Dina Tycoon with 58kg at $2.15. Before that held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Hobart Mdn-Sw on February 15 over 1000m, slow going 1.2 len behind Outbush with 58kg at $2.90. Rates highly. Genuine type who should take catching.
