Launceston Race 3 - Ladbrokes Hosted Pots Mdn Plate
FAVOURITE DEPUTY (2) resumes and was only beaten 1.7L here over 1400m when last seen. Owns a 7L longford trial win and has a handy 1.5kg claim. Will be naturally improved and will be tough to beat. KNIGHTS REIGN (1) resumes and rates well enough at best for this contest. Might be more forward this time around and will be hitting the line if he is. COLLEEN'S CROWN (4) made good improvement last time beaten 2L this track and trip. It was a tough effort from a wide gate, and he can get into the finish with a softer run. NUNKERI (9) comes back to the turf and is a likely improver from the Trinder yard. Maps for the run of the race and the top hoop sticks.
