Launceston Race 2 - Gareth Hall At The Lafm Beautide Pace
REMMINGTON (2) resumes after finishing fourth at his latest appearance at Mildura on May 17 2024. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. It doesn't get any easier but he is capable of playing a significant role. ULTIMATE ATOM (1) ran eighth last start at this track over 1680m, beaten 16 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. DEMON DESTROYER (4) is a four-year-old gelding from the S M Barnes stable on debut. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Sure to prove tough to beat. SOHO PINA COLADA (6) is worth some thought despite her last-start seventh over 1680m at this track on June 21.
