Launceston Race 5 - Harry Holgate Memorial
ALWAYS BETTOR (5) made it two wins from two runs this prep last start when he got the cash by 3.5 metres over 2200m at this track. Finds a nice race and can grab another win. MY BETTOR HALF (6) was racing with great purpose before the latest appearance when she got the job done again, scoring by a nose over 1680m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but she is capable of making it consecutive wins. MCMAYHEM (1) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at Hobart over 2090m. Hard to find fault. KEAYANG LEXI (3) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Lougle at this track over 2200m in a NR 60 to 69 on March 22 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing second behind Shes Allaboutluv at Hobart over 2090m in a 3yo+ NMT 4 LTW's on April 3 at $1.65. Rates highly and expected to be in the finish.

Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Shes Allaboutluv at Hobart over 2090m in a 3yo+ NMT 4 LTW's on April 3 at $11. Further improvement to come so worth following.
