Best Bet<\/p>\n
Race 7 \u2013 6. Lovin\u2019 Bev<\/strong><\/p>\n The return to Launceston is a big positive for Lovin\u2019 Bev, whose frontrunning style is ideally suited to the track. She was first past the post in Devonport last start but was stripped of the race on protest. Chris Pang sticks with her here, and his 2kg claim will be handy, getting 3.5kg off her main threat in Sh\u2019bourne Midnight. If she\u2019s rated well in front, I think Lovin\u2019 Bev will add to her outstanding Launceston record.<\/p>\n Next best<\/p>\n Race 3 \u2013 4. Celtic Rose<\/strong><\/p>\n Celtic Rose resumes with a pair of trial wins under her belt, and I was impressed with both. She\u2019s placed in all four runs in Launceston, and she\u2019s drawn to advantage in barrier 3. I\u2019ve marked her as the clear favourite, and at the time of writing, there are a couple of horses shorter than her in the market.<\/p>\n Best roughie<\/p>\n Race 2 \u2013 4. Striding Bay<\/strong><\/p>\n Striding Bay is a big price in the second, and I\u2019m keen to have something on E\/W. He worked to the line solidly on debut back in July, and then off a freshen, he was restrained from a wide draw in Devonport and found nothing but dead ends trying to work through the field. I think he has enough gate speed to hold a position here from an ideal draw, and we\u2019ll learn a bit more about his ability if there aren\u2019t any excuses.<\/p>\n Selections<\/p>\n Race 1: 1-7-2-8
