Launceston Race 5

Chase Newspaper Division1

Stake: $4,736

TWO GIRLS (2) boasts a strong record this course with four wins and two minors from 12 tries. Scored by 6 lengths last time (29.50) in a Grade 2/3 over 515m at this track. Rates on top and should go close. IS IT ME (1) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 4th and beaten 10 lengths at this track (43.51). One of the better chances. VINTAGE DUCHESS (8) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Hobart behind Memphis Rains (26.30) in a Grade 4. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in four starts. Bold showing expected. MIDNIGHT GRAND (4) profiles nicely here at this trip.

Was a most impressive winner to make it two on the trot at this track over 515m (29.50). Key chance and should go close again.

Was out of placings last time (27.02) at Hobart in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 10 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from six starts. Will need the right run.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when third (16.55) over 278m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Looking to others.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 278m at this track. Not among the main chances this time.

Good effort last time when third (26.30) over 461m at Hobart. Drawn wide. Solid top-three prospects.
