Launceston Race 3

Sires On Ice Division1

Prize Money: $4,765

LITTLE DAN (8) has a strong record this track and trip including three wins from five starts. Comes off a (26.00) win last time, scoring by half a length in a Grade 3/4 over 461m at Hobart. Expected to be in the finish. RED DAY (2) had been racing well without winning, recording four minors on end before copping a check in the run and finishing sixth in a Special conditions race at this track (30.13). Better than last start and can bounce back. DARLING DANGER (5) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when sixth (20.09), beaten 7 lengths. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. AEROPLANE BERNIE (1) is worth including after a top-three finish in slick time most recently.

Was out of placings last time (30.13) at this track in a Special conditions race, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Looks a key chance on best form.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th in a Grade 4 on August 11 over 340m at Hobart behind Cut The Cord beaten 7 lengths (20.09). Placed two back at Hobart. Capable of taking this out.

Has finished seventh at the last two runs, both at Hobart, the latest when beaten 9 lengths behind Little Dan over 340m. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a half a length win at Hobart over 461m in 26.00, making it two wins on end. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.
