Launceston Race 1 - Ladbrokes Hosted Pots (Bm68)
Tricky race. Most are in great form but a few of them definitely are better on the Devonport synthetic. SH'BOURNE POWER (3) was winding up into third in the race won by STARDARMUS and SIMPLY DEEP second. Does go very well at this course and distance and back to the turf can turn the tables on that pair. SIMPLY DEEP (2) has been in top form and is hard to fault. Has Darmanin stick and actually meets SH'BOURNE POWER better for beating him. Has had quite a few tries here though and yet to score. Looks the leader though and expected to give a sight again. TUSKEGEE (1) is a talented galloper in form and on record this course and distance is sure to be in the finish. STARDARMUS (4) is flying with three wins the last four runs but definitely prefer the all-weather to the turf.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd in a small field in a Bm68 at Devonport Synthetic on September 2 over 1350m, 1.0 len behind Stardarmus carrying 59kg at $2.80. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 7 in a Hcp at Devonport Synthetic on August 26 over 1350m, head behind Tuskegee carrying 54kg at $2.10. Yet to win here but has the right form and will take catching.

Racing well recently. At the latest run eased back early on 3rd in a small field in a Bm68 at Devonport Synthetic on September 2 over 1350m, 2.75 len behind Stardarmus with 55.5kg at $5. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.75 len in a Cl2 at Hobart on August 5 over 1390m on a soft track defeating Coastal Strike with 57kg at $3.40. Won only try course and distance and looks very tough to beat.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start favourite; ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.0 len in a Bm68 at Devonport Synthetic on September 2 over 1350m defeating Simply Deep with 57kg at $2.50. The run before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2 len in a Bm60 at Devonport Synthetic on August 26 over 1350m defeating Wolf Junior with 59.5kg at $1.75. Drawn for a soft run and looks a top hope again.

Comes here off a 42-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 13 in a Bm60 at Hobart on August 5 over 1600m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Henley Extreme carrying 59kg at $4.20. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 14 in a Bm64 at Hobart on July 19 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Miles 'N' Miles carrying 57kg at $5. Has ability but this looks a tough assignment.
