AU1 - Launceston - Race 5

BARBARY TALES (3) comes here following a seventh behind Surfingmakescents at Group Three level four weeks ago over 1 ¹/16m at Melton. Ideally drawn and can take this out. THE BRIDE (7) settled handy then assumed control and dug deep to score in a 1 ¹/16m race at Melton last start, arriving a nose ahead of her rivals to make it two wins from her past six runs. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Tackles a similar assignment and she can make it two on the trot. SMILING MIA (1) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1 ¼m at Hobart last time out. ALWAYSATIGER (2) must be respected after scoring last start by a head at Burnie over 1 5/16m.
