Launceston Race 1 - Thank You John Mckenna Mdn Plate
Small field but a tough race. THE REAL MAN (3) is a former Victorian who makes his Tassie debut. Best figures stack right up this line-up and with good speed should be in this for a long way. LAWRENNY BOYS (2) looks the main danger. Has placed in three of his last four, the latest on speed here at the same trip. Drawn the outside but will dash forward and take catching. UNA PALOMA BLANCA (4) made late ground last time and is sure to be thereabouts again. Same goes for AWESOME ORPHAN (6) who was outdashed but kept coming here last time. LARAMANA (1) is one to watch. First starter who was narrowly beaten in only trial and is worth watching for a market move.

First starter by Alpine Eagle out of Cambalara. Runner-up March 31 at Launceston at his only public trial. Barrier an advantage. Respect any positive market move.
