Launceston Race 6 - 6ty Show Cup
CUSTOM HARLEY (9) made it two wins from his last three outings two weeks ago, getting home by 9 metres over 2579m at Hobart. Must raise the bar but another win is on the cards. BETTABLACK TIGER (8) showed plenty of fight to score last start over 2200m at this track, getting home by just a nose. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. GO THE RED (7) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 2200m at this track. Should run a big race. WATERMELON SUGAR NZ (3) must be considered after he finished third over 2200m at this track a week ago.

Well beaten last start by Colby Sanz, a rival who she faces again; was restrained, when 20 metres eleventh at this track over 2200m in a race on September 27. Hard to enthuse.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Cuzzy Bro at this track over 2200m on September 13 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Bettablack Tiger at this track over 2200m on September 27 at $3. With even luck is a winning chance.
