Launceston Race 6 - Devonport Harness Racing Club Stakes
VANQUISH STRIDE NZ (11) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 2200m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Hard to know where he gets from this slightly awkward draw. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. GO THE RED (8) scored by 7 metres at Hobart over 2090m last start, the second win from his past three appearances. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. LOU BABY NZ (7) is worth some thought after finishing sixth first-up over 1680m at this track last time out. MCMAYHEM (10) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at this track over 2200m.

Failed to impress last start; 12th (Fr1) over 1680m at this track, beaten 65 m by Waves Of Chance (1:59.60) on July 19 at $9. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 7 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Hobart (2:35.80) beating James Cagney in on July 12 at $2.40. Has a low draw and can bounce back.

Well beaten last start by Go The Red, a rival who he faces again; when 40 metres fifth at Hobart over 2090m in a race on July 26. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Comes here second-up after two weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Sr5) over 2200m at this track, beaten 30 m by Schwarz (2:40.10) on July 19 at $101. Not this time.
