Sharma’s Last will be given one more run before having a crack at the $125,000 Ladbrokes Devonport Cup (1880m) in early January according to trainer Adam Trinder following his win in Launceston on Wednesday night.

If you’re not going to Flemington on Tuesday, then the next best way to enjoy the Melbourne Cup is at the Hobart race meeting.

Trainer Adam Trinder chalked up his second win for the night in Launceston on Friday when his consistent galloper Sharma’s Last ($3 – $6) defied a betting drift to make it eight wins from 16 starts and three-in-a-row this campaign when he finished powerfully to down the hot favourite Charlie Bucket in the Flinders Island Cup (1600m).

Trainer Adam Trinder is hoping his lightly raced 3YO Magnaprime ($6) can measure up to Guineas standard later this season after a tough win in the 1220m Class One in Launceston last Friday night.
