Launceston Race 7 - Kevin Sharkie (Bm76)
As good a BM76 as you'll see in Tassie. GLORY MISSION (9) is a lightly raced galloper building a good record. Was good enough to take to Melbourne in 2025 but must have been injured at some point and had almost 18 months off. Resumed on the synthetic at Devonport and was too classy, leading throughout for a comfortable win. Can only be fitter and looks hard to beat again. Plenty of other strong challengers though. ZANY GIRL (7) is a stakes-winning mare and even tackled the Group 1 Thousand Guineas at three. Excels fresh and presents on the back of two trial wins so looks forward enough to go close. HARTMAN (1) was a model of consistency at the end of last campaign and has continued that this time in. Runner-up behind BOLD INSTINCT last time and can turn the tables. FLYING BILLIE (8) is down in weight and will give a sight. PRINCE OF KHATUN (6) returns and is a fresh-up winner. Easy recent trial winner so expect a forward showing.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 len in a Hcp at Devonport Synthetic on August 26 over 1150m defeating Thoros Of Myr with 58kg at $3.10. Last start 2nd in a small field in a Hcp at Devonport Synthetic on September 9 over 1150m, 2.5 len behind Bold Instinct carrying 55kg at $1.35. Capable of a better showing. In great form this campaign and should prove hard to beat.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 2nd in a small field in a Hcp at Devonport Synthetic on August 26 over 1150m, 1.75 len behind Hartman with 58kg at $9. Second-up 3rd in a small field in a Hcp at Devonport Synthetic on September 9 over 1150m, 3 len behind Bold Instinct with 55kg at $6.50. Close to a win but won't find this easy.
