Launceston - Race 1 - Ladbrokes Racing Club Maiden Plate - 1100m

Selections:
5. Lady Fern - $2.10
3. Klimenko - $2.50
2. Arianna's Gold - $6.00

BEST BET - Lady Fern - $2.10
Having come close in plenty of its 11 career outings thus far, Lady Fern will be eager to land its maiden triumph here at Launceston. This should be fast and furious but this is a very good horse, who's luck surely has to change soon.

THE DANGER - Klimenko - $2.50
Despite not offering too much on debut, there is plenty of interest for Klimenko here, a horse that comes from good stock and an in-form stable. Improvement needed quickly here though, especially in this company.

VALUE BET - Arianna's Gold - $6.00
Debutants are always the wild card in this type of contest and Arianna's Gold has the capacity to be an absolute flyer. It could struggle too but Arianna's Gold looks to be worth an outside shot at least.

Launceston - Race 4 - Tasbred Race Meeting Handicap - 1200m

Selections:
7. Geegees Misty - $2.50
4. Flying Billie - $3.80
3. Mcsweyn - $5.00

BEST BET - Geegees Misty - $2.50
Ascertaining where Geegees Misty is at this point is tricky but it remains a seriously strong option in this company and it fared well when last running here at Launceston. There is a feeling it needs to win more races to take the next step and that should start here.

THE DANGER - Flying Billie - $3.80
Similarly, Flying Billie will be looking to add more wins to its record and it should be bang in contention in this one. It placed well last time out and should be chomping at the bit here.

VALUE BET - Mcsweyn - $5.00
The calibre from which Mcsweyn comes from suggests that this horse should be bang in contention here but it has no form to speak of. That said, this is a good horse and if its gets a run, it could be dangerous.

Launceston - Race 7 - Nitro Brisbane Boxing Team Handicap - 1600m

Selections:
1. Lontano - $2.50
4. The Prayer - $3.00
2. Goddess Of Rock - $11.00

BEST BET - Lontano - $2.50
A win over course and distance last time out has seen Lontano propelled to the top of the market for this one and it should be gunning for as repeat. It tops the weights, so will need to go well again but its more than capable.

THE DANGER - The Prayer - $3.00
2025 form hasn't been as strong as 2024 for The Prayer but it is a horse with bags of potential, that could come good at any stage. It does need a performance in this one though.

VALUE BET - Goddess Of Rock - $11.00
While the top of the market is dominated by the two favourites, Goddess Of Rock is a genuine contender, who has heaps of pace over this type of distance and it looks a good price to compete.
