Launceston Race 6

The Bottle-O Hadspen Stakes

Stake: $8,640

JAY MILLER (2) did a good job to finish third two starts ago then recorded a comfortable victory last time out, scoring by 6 metres over 2200m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (4) was in the money two runs ago then was about the mark when doing work in the run again last time over 1680m at this track, finishing 5 metres from the winner in second. Good enough to put himself back in the winners' stall. YURUGA LASS (1) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 2200m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. I WANT IT ALL (3) disappointed last time when eighth over 1680m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Last start 10th (Fr1) over 2200m at this track beaten 35 m by Machs Mareta (2:45.30) in NR up to 49 on May 25 at $5. At her previous start 5th (Fr2) over 1680m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 16 m by Rollin Mary (2:03.60) in 3yo+ NMT 2 LTW's on May 16 at $2.30. Capable of a better showing.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 5 m second behind Heres Henry at this track over 1680m NR up to 44 last start. Before that was beaten 2 metres second again at this track over 2200m in NR 45 to 49 on May 30. Winning prospects.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 10th (Fr6) over 1690m after racing wide at Shepparton, beaten 21 m by Iamawingate (2:04.60) in NR up to 49 on May 13 at $23. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 1690m at Shepparton, beaten 12 m by Clives Girl (2:04.80) in NR 39 to 44 on April 15 at $7.50. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr7) over 1680m at this track beaten 12 m by Heres Henry (2:03.20) in NR up to 44 on June 8 at $26. Two runs back 11th (Sr2) over 1609m at Hobart, beaten 80 m by Mikispur (2:00.60) in NR up to 49 on June 1 at $13. Hard to have on those efforts.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Sr1) over 2200m at this track, beaten 20 m by Twilight Beach (2:46.70) in NR 45 to 49 on May 30 at $21. Before that was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 1680m at this track beaten 11 m by Colby Art (2:04.30) in NR up to 44 on May 16 at $41. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.
