Top Tassie tips.
The first of two thoroughbred meetings in Launceston for the week is on Wednesday night with a seven-race card.
The rail moves back into the +1m position after being at +8m last Friday. The weather forecast is good, which should see the track in the 4-5 range.

Best bet
Race 2 – 2. Judge Jenni
I was happy to oppose her at the price five days ago, but I think Judge Jenni is justifiably short on Wednesday night. Backed into $1.55 at her first Tassie start, Judge Jenni tracked the stablemate, and winner, Henley Extreme, but in a slowly run race, couldn’t quicken when the leaders kicked. She put a good margin on third, though, and up to the mile on the quick back up looks suitable to finally pick up a race at career start 16.
Next best
Race 5 – 7. Crack the Shutters
There will likely be a bit of ‘multi madness’ on Wednesday night, with a few favourites hard to oppose. Another shortie is Crack the Shutters, who makes the sharp leap from a class 1 to a BM76. From a wide draw, she was made to work for her first-up win, but was soft in the end, and that form has already been franked. Interestingly, there is a class 2 1200m race on this program, but Stu Gandy is happy to tackle the higher grade to get in with a lesser weight (54kg). This season’s 3yo crop looks particularly strong, and I think Crack the Shutters will show that again here.
Best value
Race 4 – 6. Night Invader
The first leg of the quaddie is one of the more open races of the night. I’ll follow my money on Night Invader, who was impressive winning here a fortnight ago. The seas parted for Daniel Ganderton that night, and the horse showed a sharp turn of foot to navigate through the field and win going away. Ganderton may need the same breaks here, but he drops 1kg and is good each-way odds once again.
