Lindsey Smith’s decision to race horses in Tasmania continues to reap rewards with another double in Launceston on Friday night.

Trainer Stephen Shaw had a long-range plan for his three-year-old Berserker and in Launceston on Friday night the first stage was realised when the gelding scored a narrow but game win in a maiden over 1620 metres.

Well-bred filly Just a Needs can look forward to contesting some feature three-year-old races in the coming weeks following her impressive maiden win over 1400 metres in Hobart on Friday.

One of the best races for the season is the main event in Launceston on Wednesday night with the running of the Listed $150,000 Jacksons Security Newmarket Handicap.
