As he does so often, trainer Stuart Gandy landed the first two-year-old winner of the season with Zany Girl ($9.00) running down Star Fortian ($8) in the last few strides to win narrowly in Hobart on Sunday.

It was expected to be little more than a training gallop for hot favourite Durazzo ($1.35) in a field of three contesting the 1100m BM76 Hcp to conclude Wednesday night’s Launceston program, and that’s how it appeared until a quick look at the clock showed otherwise.

A race like the Lady Lynette could be on the cards for Anyways Roxie after her comprehensive win in the BM68 (1100m) in Hobart on Sunday.

Track specialist Geegee Jet By made it six career wins and five at the track when he overpowered the favourite in the closing stages to take the 1200m BM68 Hcp in Launceston on Wednesday night.

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.
