Launceston Race 5 - Kevin Gillies Memorial
TRIEDTOTELLYA (10) has been freshened since his brave second in the Tasmania Cup where he came from wide on the back row to be beaten only 1.8m. Had been racking up the wins prior including the Hobart Cup and Golden Apple. He is unbeaten at this circuit and distance and looks a class above these. RAY DAN (2) finished second last start at this venue after a dominant win at Hobart the run prior. Owns a decent record here and can get into the finish. CUZZY BRO (1) won the only time he attempted this circuit and distance and is in first-three contention off a last-start win by nearly 12 metres at Hobart. KEAYANG FITZY (8) is also an exotic hope following a fourth at his most recent appearance here.

Last start a big 11 m win as favourite (Fr6) at Hobart (2:35.10) beating My Way in NR 64 to 80 on March 25 at $2.20. Worth plenty of thought.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1680m at this track, beaten 9 m by Lougle (2:01.20) in NR 65 to 74 on March 29 at $3.30. Two runs back posted a big 25 m win (Fr5) at Hobart (1:55.30) beating Mr Bondi in NR 65 to 74 on March 15 at $9.50. Sure to be about the money again.

Before that was driven from back in the field when 9th (FT Fr6) over 2698m after racing wide at this track beaten 35 m by Horatius Speculo (3:24.90) in No NR on March 22 at $101.
