Launceston Race 5 - Ladbrokes Mates Mode Plate (C4)
JUST CRUISIN' (1) brings outstanding Stakes form without a weight penalty. Won't know himself in a CL4 and will use an inside barrier to advantage. Keeps Jett Stanley and he should be winning. NAVARRE RIVER (3) deserved his CL2 win at Hobart over this journey and then raced favourite again and came hard beaten a half-length this track/trip/grade. He can form the quinella. SISTER ROYAL (4) resumes following a switch to the Gandy stable and brings a string of wins. Won a recent Hobart trial and 4x winning rider Byrne Burke stays aboard. Draws the rail and no surprise if she's presented forward this time around. FIORENTE DE LEGEND (2) won at Hobart deservedly, and then was plainer there stepping up to a mile. Comes back 200m and she'll be around the mark.
