Launceston Race 8 - Ladbrokes Big Bets Copy Now (Bm76)

CHEROKEE DANCER (3) was an open class winner fresh then fifth in that grade latest. Comes back a notch for this and suited by the small field. Will box seat and go close. IN THE OCEAN (1) has been freshened since finishing runner-up behind CHEROKEE DANCER at the latest in open class. Boasts a top record over course and distance and is drawn to feature. BOLD INSTINCT (4) is a speedy type suited by a small field and is among the leading chances. GEE GEE ENUF SPEED (6) is a veteran mare fitter for one run back. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts. QUICKEN UP (5) has a good record fresh and a great record course and distance. Keep safe.

Last start set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 7 at this track Open on April 3 over 1200m, 2 len behind Perola with 54kg at $13. The start before that ran last in a small field at this track Open Hcp on March 13 over 1100m, slow going 3 len behind Cherokee Dancer carrying 54kg at $18. Nice effort last time. Speedy type suited by a small field and is among the leading chances.
