Seven Mile Beach trainer Joel Flannery admitted to making a mistake with Fivefingerdiscount’s first-up assignment but in Launceston on Sunday all was forgiven as the gelding gave quality opposition a galloping lesson in the Marjorie Fitzpatrick Memorial Open Handicap over 1220 metres.

Trainer Joel Flannery hopes a recent addition to his stable Steer for Lady can make her way into the top echelon of the state’s staying ranks and given her first-up effort to win the Australian Trainer’s Trust maiden over 1220 metres in Launceston last Sunday, she could even find herself in one of the major cups during the Summer Carnival.

Copper Charm's trackwork encouraging.

Trainer Joel Flannery only has four horses in work, but he takes half of his team to Launceston on Wednesday night and the talented mentor is hoping to snare a double with Fivefingerdiscount and Copper Charm.
