Launceston Race 6 - Victory Images Photography Stakes
A DRAGON FOR JOE (1) has had two runs from wider barriers so far this prep and while yet to finish in the top three he showed improvement when fourth here last time. Peaking now and should enjoy an economical run from the inside draw. IDEN OLIVER (4) finished third last start, beaten 8 metres, in a nice return to form at this venue. Big chance in a suitable assignment. KEAYANG LEXI (2) draws well and was readied with a trial win so is in the mix at her first run since finishing third here 12 weeks ago. MIGHT AND TEMERITY (6) has won when third-up before so may be ready to show more.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr4) over 2200m at this track, beaten 12 m by Iylac Chamber (2:43.90) in 3yo+ on July 10 at $2.60. Before that, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1680m at this track, beaten 19 m by Soho Tiger Lily (2:02.90) in 3yo+ on June 26 at $4.60. Fitter now and looks tough to beat from the pegs.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 10th (Fr6) over 1609m at Hobart beaten 19 m by The Devils Flame (1:58.70) on July 12 at $101. Before that 10th (Sr1) over 2200m at this track, well beaten by Everything But The (2:41.90) on June 7 at $11. This looks far too tough.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fifth behind Onehandonebounce at this track over 2200m on June 26 at $17. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Moveslikealady at this track over 1680m on July 10 at $26. Forward performance expected.
