Launceston Race 4 - Gareth Hall At The Lafm Beautide Stakes
IFYOULOVEMELETMEGO (4) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Was again in fine form last start when she scored over 2200m at this track, getting home by 1.2 metres. Can keep the ball rolling. KUHIO CREST (7) worked and finished sixth last start after a good second when resuming at this venue the run prior. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but he should be hitting peak fitness third-up. YARECKON IM SWEET (3) draws well and is on the radar after her last-start fourth from the back row here two weeks ago. PUNTARNO STRIDE NZ (8) can feature with a few good breaks from the inside of the back row.
