Launceston Race 7 - Vizpix Broadcast Services Pace
WILL HE PIKE (5) was yet again about the mark last time out when runner-up over 1609m at Hobart, beaten 2.75 metres. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of continuing his fine form. MERRYWOOD PAUL (1) produced a better effort last start when third over 1680m at this track, beaten 5.5 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Recent efforts are good enough to put him right in the finish. TAMBROS TILLY (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 5.5 metres at this track over 2200m. CENTURIAN MISS (3) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw and shouldn't be left out of exotic bets.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, after showing early speed, behind Goodtime Oscar at this track over 1680m on August 30 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Wee Georgie Wood at this track over 1680m on September 13 at $5.50. Leading contender again.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 11th (Fr6) over 2200m at this track well beaten by Everything But The (2:41.20) on August 23 at $71. Before that 5th (Fr2) over 2090m at Hobart beaten 15 m by Schwarz (2:37.90) on August 16 at $26. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1680m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 7 m by Waves Of Chance (2:00.20) on September 13 at $11. Before that, a good run when 3rd (Fr1) over 2200m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 7 m by Atomic Black (2:42.80) on August 30 at $26. Rates highly on her win five starts back.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Hammer Dan at this track over 2200m on August 30 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Didyalousaroosta at Hobart over 1609m on September 20 at $3.40. Will give a good account.
