Launceston Race 1 - Ladbrokes Hosted Pots Mdn Plate
MOMENTSLIKETHESE (5) tumbles in grade off quinella placing at Stakes level behind the classy Aristopolos. He sets a decent standard for the newcomers. ZHAVRAFROST (6) and TAKE THE RISK (2) are likely the best of them. The former represents the sharp Trinder yard and she was beaten a short head in a recent Longford trial. Byrne Burke stays aboard from that and she's racking up plenty of winners. The latter missed by a similar margin in his Longford trial. Has as a 1.5kg claim and expect a bold run from him as well. BEWICKED (4) won a trial but didn't get warm bet $51 in Stakes grade on debut. She can be more competitive in this.

First starter by Alpine Eagle out of Palazzo Miss. Runner-up in a trial at Longford over 800m February 10. 1.5kg claiming apprentice rides. Inside barrier will assist chances. Ready for a bold run.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 7 at this track in the LR Gold Sov on February 20 over 1200m, 8 len behind Aristopolos with 55kg at $51. May sneak into the finish in this grade.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd of 7 at this track in the LR Gold Sov on February 20 over 1200m, 2 len behind Aristopolos carrying 55kg at $8. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Hobart in the LR 2yo SW on January 25 over 1100m, 1.3 len behind Aristopolos with 55kg at $3.90. The one they have to beat.
