Launceston Race 4 - Happy 80th Dennis (Bm68)
GLOBAL TURN (4) was previously racing in good heat last season in South Australia, and makes her local debut for Stephen Straw, who had her at a recent trial to get fit. She comes to hand quickly, and if not needing the run, she will be right in the finish, especially if there is money for her. OBVIOUSLY GOOD (3) has been racing all year consistently, and resumes from a spell with a couple of trials under his belt. He had to have his return delayed after a shoe issue, and will be ready to rumble here. GEEGEES MISSILE (2) is as brave as they come, and even though she has not won for some time, this suitable target offers her a great chance to run her usually honest race. TAROONA (1) ended her last prep with a flurry of wins, and from a good gate, she has enough early pace to lead and take them all the way. NOVALARGO (6) saves her best for this circuit, and she is peaking at the right time, third up from a spell. She was not far away as the favourite last start, so follow your money.

Most recently 3rd in a small field in a Bm68 at this track on October 23 over 1220m, 0.8 len behind Mastretta carrying 57.5kg at $3.60. The start before that got back early 3rd in a small field in a Hcp at Devonport Synthetic on August 26 over 1150m, 4 len behind Hartman with 55kg at $2.10. Close to a win. Worth plenty of thought.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 7th of 9 in a Bm60 at this track on October 2 over 1100m, slow going 1.75 len behind Brave Jet carrying 54.5kg at $26.

Going well and can keep the ball rolling.
