Launceston Race 4 - Max Mccormack
CHARLI PIPPEN (2) ran second last start at this track over 2200m, beaten 8 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done. IMPERIAL SANZ (10) scored last time out by 8 metres in a far better performance at this track over 2200m. Hard to know where he gets from this slightly awkward draw. His recent effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. ASTORMZABREWEN (5) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance over 1609m at Hobart. IYLAC CHAMBER (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth when resuming over 1609m at Hobart on May 31.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after a quick start, behind Imperial Sanz at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on May 24 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Gee Young at this track over 1680m on May 29 at $7. Capable of going well on best efforts.
