Launceston Race 9

Colonial Motel Division1

Stake: $4,585

WINEMAKER (1) was below best at his last start when 6th at this track following a second place finish (29.94) there two back. Has a good record here at this journey. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and seven minor placings to his credit. Has ability and looks hard to stop. TODAY'S CARLOS (8) was checked in the run and missed the frame, finishing fifth in a Grade 4 last time (30.43) at this track over 515m. Should be in this for a long way. HIGHGATE MOLLY (6) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at this track over 515m behind Buckle Up Gavin (30.35) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Should be in this for a long way. STARDUST LAD (2) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Was out of placings last time (30.51) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and seven minors. Makes strong appeal.

Dual acceptor. Returns from a three-and-a-half months spell after being tipped out on the back of a eighth (16.71) over 278m at this track. Looks a danger to the top hope.
