Daily Racing Tips – Sunday 21st February
by Joshua Bell
Launceston - Race 2 2:00pm AEDT
No. 2 Sirene Stryker
Sirene Stryker is a talented and lightly raced four year old mare who has missed a placing just once in her five start career.
She has not been seen at the races since running third behind the smart Galenus this time last year but that form looks good for a race of this quality.
The filly has had three trials leading into this and she looks well placed first up.
Launceston - Race 3 2:40pm AEDT
No. 4 Endured
Four year old mare Endured has been racing very consistently of late having not finished worst than fourth at all five runs this prep so far.
She has had 32 days in between runs for this assignment and if she can replicate her last start 2.5 length win at this track, she will be going close.
Launceston - Race 6 4:30pm AEDT
No. 1 Chequerboard
Chequerboard is the deserving favourite in the 2021 Tasmanian Oaks.
She has failed to win since she put together back to back wins to kick start her racing career but she has been unplaced only three times in nine runs.
Hela was too good for her last time out in the Listed Strutt Stakes at Hobart but she beat off the third horse by four lengths and was doing her best work late.
The one to beat.
Launceston - Race 8 5:45pm AEDT
No. 4 Red Letter Lady
Red Letter Lady won three and was placed a further two times from five starts last prep.
She ran fourth first up in the Group 3 Bow Mistress Trophy behind Ethical Solution and will appreciate both the drop in class and step up in distance for this assignment.
