Launceston Race 4 - Nellie Robins Pace
SWEETHEART DIOR (9) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a win last start by 3 metres over 2090m at Hobart despite galloping in the run. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Meets a similar line-up so she must be respected. HEYNOWHEYNOW (8) is in good form at present. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1680m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. KAYBEE (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by a neck at this track over 1680m. SHES NANCY (7) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth over 1680m at this track on July 24.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 2200m, 6 days ago before that 6th (Fr5) over 1680m after racing wide at this track beaten 10 m by Port Run Machine (2:03.20) in 3yo on July 24 at $61. Others rate better.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 11th (Fr7) over 1680m at this track beaten 15 m by Port Run Machine (2:03.20) in 3yo on July 24 at $91. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr7) over 2200m at this track, beaten 35 m by Schwarz (2:41.40) in 3yo+ on July 10 at $101. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Schwarz at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on July 10 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Port Run Machine at this track over 1680m in a 3yo on July 24 at $3.50. Can retain the good form.
