AU - Launceston - Race 4

MASTRETTA (2) steps up to her pet trip for her peak run after finishing third here twice to open her season over 5 ½f. The blinkers are back on, and she is ready to win. GARCON D'ESPOIR (1) is knocking on the door, and will benefit from a 9lbs claim to help offset his weight rise in this grade. He is drawn widest in the small field, but is overdue for another win so stick with him. GEEGEES MISSILE (3) has been freshened up since her last start third on the Devonport poly track nearly 9 weeks ago. Top hoop Anthony Darmanin keeps the faith, and another honest effort is expected. GOLDEN MEADOW (5) did not do much when resuming, but she usually improves quickly with racing, and she can figure in the top 3 in the small field here. OBVIOUSLY GOOD (4) resumes from a spell, and normally needs a run, but he has trialled twice and can't be taken lightly. Check the market. MONTEZULU (7) is fresh up, and not totally without some top 4 claims.
