Prominent harness racing breeders Lyndon and Gail Menegon will be hoping their recent success with a galloper Smoke ' Whisky will carry over to Launceston tonight.
Bred by the Menegon, Isundula Artist is chasing his first win for the season.
The son of Tiz A Masterpiece will line up in the opening race on the eight-event card in what appears to be a winnable assignment for the Barrie Rattray-trained gelding.
Starting from barrier three with Todd Rattray in the sulky, the three-year-old gets his chance to return to the winners' circle.
Isundula Artist registered his sole win in Hobart almost a year ago, when he showed good gate speed to lead throughout from the pole.
His main dangers are pole marker Barooga Minnie, along with Cemento Rapido from barrier two and Acey Boy from gate nine.
