Launceston Race 1 - $25 Pot & Parmi Special 10Th April Hcp
Tricky and the betting will be instructive. The Blacker yard has accepted with three. BEWICKED (4) is the one with race experience. Led and held on to place in a small field here a month ago, and she's won an Elwick trial over 800m since. Will have come on, and she sets the standard. The betting should be a good guide to the relative ability of the debutants. FARMER'S SON (1) was placed in his latest trial and Johnstone sticks from that, and he looks ready to run well. ZALAU (3) has prepared well and maps for the softest run. OFFA MORE (6) and FIERCE SPIRIT (2) both present on debut for the Blacker yard and profile well. The former has the top hoop aboard.

Gelding by Gold Standard on debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Hobart on January 20 over 800m. Strong chance to break through. Expected to feature.

Facing the starter for the first time. Two-year-old gelding by Zululand out of Redress. At the most recent trial finished fifth on December 9 at Devonport Synthetic over 800m. Worth considering.

At debut, 3rd in a small field at this track 2yo Mdn-Sw on March 4 over 1120m, slow going 5.5 len behind Momentslikethese carrying 55kg at $21. Won trial at Hobart over 800m on March 23. Better for that experience and looks the testing material.
