The Tasmanian Turf Club in Launceston host their second meeting in the space of three days with an eight-race card to be run on Friday night.

Trainer Glenn Stevenson is undecided if Tahitian Warrior ($17) will make the trip to contest the 2800m Heritage Cup at Flemington on Melbourne Cup day after he won the golden ticket into the race taking out the BM76 (2150m) in Launceston on Friday night.

Trainer Barry Campbell’s ambitious plan to get his lightly raced 4YO Durazzo into the Newmarket Handicap in November is a step closer after the gelding raced away from his rivals to win the 1009m BM68 Hcp in Devonport on Sunday.

John Blacker will tip out his exciting 4yo Rubble ‘N’ Fudd for a spell after a narrow but brave win at his first try at 1400m taking his record to five starts for four wins.

North West trainer Glenn Stevenson gave notice that the Tasmanian trainers’ premiership is far from over with a winning double in Hobart on Sunday, clawing within four wins of leader John Blacker.
