Dream Flyer moves into the inside barrier for Launceston Race 8, giving them the ideal starting position for an upset.
Troy Blacker’s four-year-old gelding will be ridden by Brad Rawiller and last ran a game fourth behind Conquering in the Listed Thomas Lyons Stakes (1400m) at Hobart.
Experience at the track and the ideal draw, Dream Flyer will win here and win well.
To finish second behind Dream Flyer we fancy $9.50 chance Ebbing.
Prepared by Gary White, Ebbing comes into today’s showdown in career best form having run a close second in two Class Handicaps over 1400m in January before scoring an impressive 1 ¾ length victory in the Kevin Sharkie Handicap at Hobart last start on February 13.
