Launceston Race 8 - Free Entertainment For The Kids Good Friday (Bm68)
HARTMAN (4) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win on the Devonport Synthetic over 1350m. Had won here three back and then didn't have the best of it as favourite at the track/trip after. He's likely to control the race from the inside barrier and can go on with the job. MAKE A DECISION (2) was doing his best work late, beaten a nose over 1220m at this track. He's busting to win and should manage the longer sprint this time around. The 1.5kh claim remains handy. HURRICANE KETUT (6) is third-up and should be ready to fire. has been kept on the fresh side and rates right up to this at best. SISTER ROYAL (5) resumed for a new yard off four straight wins and needed the run here over 1400m. Keeps the leading rider, and quick improvement is likely.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 at this track Bm64 on February 25 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Golden Meadow with 59.5kg at $16. Last start 6th of 8 at Devonport Synthetic Bm60 on March 9 over 1150m, 3.5 len behind Zoete's Rock with 61kg at $18. Solid credentials and certainly worth including.

Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; won by 2.5 len at Devonport Synthetic Bm68 March 9 over 1350m defeating Whippin Piccadilly carrying 57.5kg at $2.60. The start before that rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 7 at this track Bm68 on January 30 over 1420m, slow going 3 len behind Coal River with 55.5kg at $2.70. Can make it back-to-back wins.

Second run back. First-up after four months ran last in a small field at this track Cl4 on March 13 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Just Cruisin' carrying 57kg at $9. Previously second-up 6th of 10 at Ballarat Synthetic F&M Mdn-Sw on July 4 over 1400m, 6 len behind Hide Your Assets with 58kg at $19. Expected to do much better with that run under her belt.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming ran last in a small field at Hobart Cl4 Sw on January 25 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Lady Galadriel with 59kg at $5. Second-up second last of 7 at this track Cl4 Sw on February 25 over 1400m, 4 len behind Agnete with 59kg at $8. Fitter and is up to this.
