Race 8 — JKB Racing – Own The Feeling Plate (C3) 1600m · jumps

Race preview

Launceston hosts the Jkb Racing – Own The Feeling Plate over 1600m on a Good 4 surface under fine weather conditions, with the race scheduled for 10:00 pm AEDT. Looking at the win market order, Little El holds the shortest price, closely followed by Thickskinned, Genuine Lady, and Sky Eagle rounding out the leading market fancies.

The form behind the market leaders points to some compelling angles. Thickskinned comes in with a rating of 100 after a solid win here over 1600m in Class 2 grade before battling home in a BM76. Genuine Lady is shooting for a hat-trick at this course following strong victories over 1200m, and the step up in distance looks a positive move. Meanwhile, Little El has been racing in great heart, sticking on well when placing over this track and trip last time out.

The speed map shows Genuine Lady, Last Tremble, and Little El pushing forward from their barriers as leaders, which could set up a genuine tempo. Further down the market, Sky Eagle brings a runner-up effort over 1600m at Hobart and could work into the finish if the leaders overcook things up front.

AAP

Not far off them in the small field this track. Draw makes the job harder. Strikes a harder race.

ILB

Started $6.50 and had difficulty when 4th last time here and rising in weight. Should race on the speed. Not in this.

RP

Fair effort (beaten just under 2l) over 7f here (handicap) when he wasn't far behind Sky Eagle last month.

RSIS

Started 11/2 and not competitive when 4th last start at this track and goes up in weight. Has early pace and positions nicely.

AAP

Settled midfield, let down really well at Hobart over this trip. Very fit, again one for multiples.

ILB

Backs up quickly. Finished with intent when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last time at Hobart but facing a stronger group of contenders. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition.

RP

Finished just behind Sky Eagle when third at Hobart last Tuesday in a handicap; has won at this course; others are preferred as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.

RSIS

On a short back up. Picked up late ground when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last time at Hobart but up against stronger competition.

AAP

Won Hcp (C2) Launceston 9 Oct. Unhurried early and only battled home (Bm76) this track over this journey. Sound form this course. Makes strong appeal.

ILB

Was $4.60 and chased well when 5th last start at the track and will find this grade more suitable. Putting up notable efforts since returning from a spell. Strong contender.

RP

A winner over C&D; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 3½l) in a handicap 12 days ago; strong claims as shown he can win fairly recently.

RSIS

Started at 7/2 and made up ground when 5th last start at the track and drops back to a suitable class. Performing impressively since coming back from a break. Hard to beat.

AAP

Shooting for hat-trick this course. Strong win over 1200m Hcp (C2) this venue. More ground a plus. Again holds plenty of aces.

ILB

Reeled them in when winning last run around here and going up in distance. On a winning streak the last 2 runs. Should muster plenty of early toe. Place best.

RP

Got the job done by 1l last month in a handicap; knows how to win here with three course wins and on a hat-trick after last win; should be on the premises.

RSIS

Finished hard to win last start here and stepping up in distance. On a winning streak the last 2 runs. Should muster plenty of early pace.

Comments

AAP

Kept coming and just fell short at Hobart over this trip. Fit from racing, could again get into the placings.

ILB

On a quick back up. Narrowly denied victory last run at Hobart but testing ability against stronger contenders. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Marginal contender.

RP

Good effort when close up in a handicap (Hobart) in front of Sir Jag a week ago; has won here before.

RSIS

On a quick back up. Threw down a serious challenge last time at Hobart but facing stiffer opposition. Likely to get back.

Handily placed , just outpaced when it mattered at Hobart. Drawn to get an economic trail. Deep into her campaign, not out of this.

ILB

Racing on a quick back up. Was $7.00 and weakened to finish 7th last run at Hobart but can find a nice position from the draw. Up in grade.

RP

Has won here previously; fair effort when close behind Bella Chinkara at Hobart (dropped to 7f) last Tuesday in a handicap; this is competitive and others make more appeal.

RSIS

On a quick turnaround. Started 6/1 and gave away some ground when 7th last start at Hobart but can find a nice position from the draw.

Racing in great heart. Pressed on early and stuck on well when in the market this course. Stats are tidy this course. Looks a serious player.

ILB

Did well when 2nd last start around here. Likely to be well placed early. Displaying good ability this campaign. Will be there at the business end.

RP

Track has proven suitable before; ran encouragingly when just over 1l second in a handicap last month; likely to be thereabouts.

RSIS

Did well when 2nd last time here. Likely to be well placed early. Been in the money multiple times lately. Will run close.

Comments

AAP

Put in some good work late at Hobart. Fit from racing, warrants attention.

ILB

On a short turnaround. At $4.00 inched into 4th last time at Hobart and gets the perfect draw. Competing at a higher level of competition. Can run into the placings.

RP

Fourth a week ago, only beaten less than a length,, finished ahead of Last Tremble at Hobart in a handicap; low strike-rate of 1-21; been struggling to get her head in front recently so looks opposable.

RSIS

Backs up quickly. Odds of 3/1 and moved ahead of some to finish 4th last time at Hobart and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
