Launceston Tips November 11
Billie Blacker Class 1 Handicap Tips (Race 2)
Launceston Next Best Bet - Race 2 No. 6 Waltzing Matilda
Waltzing Matilda returns to the course and distance of her maiden success, and an encouraging first-up performance suggests the Glenn Stevenson-trained mare is capable of doubling her career winning tally.
The daughter of I Am Immortal resumed off just one barrier trial when finishing third over 1120m at this venue on October 23, beaten just over a length in a Class 1 handicap on Good ground.
She raced prominently throughout that contest after jumping from an inside barrier, and with gate one again at her disposal, another economical passage looks likely for a mare who should appreciate the return to 1200m.
Although that first-up form has yet to produce a winner, the second and fifth-place finishers both performed creditably at Hobart subsequently, while her previous maiden victory on Soft ground provides reassurance regarding the prevailing conditions.
Erica Byrne Burke takes the ride for the first time, and with Waltzing Matilda making her second appearance since joining Stevenson's stable, she looks well placed to build on her encouraging return and record a second career victory.
Belle Blacker Class 3 Handicap Tips (Race 3)
Launceston Best Bet - Race 3 No. 2 Mcveigh
Mcveigh has made an excellent impression in his brief career, and the Adam Trinder-trained gelding looks capable of completing a winning hat-trick after resuming with a convincing Class 1 victory at this venue last month.
The four-year-old was sent straight to the front over 1120m on October 23, controlling the contest before drawing clear to score by a length on Good ground in an impressive first-up performance.
That success followed an equally encouraging victory at the conclusion of his previous preparation, when the son of Stratosphere led throughout to score by more than three lengths over 1220m at Launceston in April.
Although both wins came on Good surfaces, Mcveigh has also demonstrated his ability on Soft ground, finishing runner-up over 1200m at this circuit earlier in April, while further improvement remains possible on just his sixth career appearance.
Barrier one should suit the gelding's established front-running style, and with Erica Byrne Burke again combining with Trinder, Mcveigh looks difficult to oppose despite the rise to Class 3 company.
Happy 80th Dennis Benchmark 68 Handicap Tips (Race 4)
Launceston Value Bet - Race 4 No. 7 Baybougg
A return to Soft ground could bring Baybougg firmly into contention, with the John Blacker-trained mare having produced an encouraging first-up performance at Launceston on October 30.
The five-year-old settled towards the rear over 1100m before finishing strongly to claim fourth, beaten just under two lengths, in a Benchmark 60 contest that provided a solid foundation for her second-up assignment.
The daughter of Cable Bay had previously impressed when winning her lead-up trial at Longford, and her past performances suggest she is capable of improving significantly with a run under her belt.
Baybougg boasts an excellent record on Soft surfaces, with three of her four career victories coming under those conditions, while her last appearance on similar ground resulted in a runner-up finish in a small-field contest at Launceston in January.
Lauryn Bingley retains the ride from barrier one, and although the rise to Benchmark 68 company presents a tougher assignment, Baybougg's proven wet-track ability and expected fitness improvement make her an appealing value proposition.
John Blacker Premiership Trainer Open Handicap Tips (Race 6)
Launceston Roughie - Race 6 No. 2 Wineglass Bay
Wineglass Bay has been below his best in his two most recent appearances, although the John Blacker-trained gelding has stronger form to his credit and looks capable of producing an improved performance at attractive odds.
The Irish-bred son of New Bay delivered an encouraging third over 1380m at Hobart earlier this preparation, finishing less than a length and a half from the winner in an Open handicap on Soft 5 ground.
He subsequently struggled when sent to Melbourne for a Benchmark 78 contest at Sandown, starting at triple-figure odds, before returning to Launceston and finishing sixth of seven over 1400m in a race dominated by runners positioned close to the speed.
The eight-year-old has since finished second in a Longford barrier trial, providing some encouragement ahead of Wednesday's assignment, while barrier five should allow him to secure a suitable position without excessive early pressure.
Although Wineglass Bay has produced some of his best performances over longer distances, he remains effective at 1400m, and with Luke Dempsey taking the ride for the first time, the experienced gelding could surprise at generous odds.
