Launceston Race 1

Ladbrokes Racing Extras In Multi Pace

Stake: $11,834

WEE GEORGIE WOOD (2) was in the money two runs ago then found the frame again last time over 2200m at this track, finishing 21 metres from the winner in second. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the talent to take care of this field. CAN FEEL THE FURY NZ (4) finished second last start, beaten 5 metres at Hobart over 2090m. Expecting a very good run. JAMES CAGNEY NZ (5) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 2090m at Hobart a week ago. SHEMEANSBUSINESS (1) could only finish seventh over 1680m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.
