Hobart Race 7

Winzenberg Hcp

Prize Money: $50,000

Multiple Stakes winner TURK WARRIOR (1) resumes and flies fresh. Has won 2/4 at this course /trip and maps well. A bold run is likely. PRESS FOR BOOM (6) resumes and the promising mare has won 4/4. She's trialled well and Pires sticks from those. It's a step up but she can keep improving. The veteran GALENUS (4) has needed the two runs back and has won third-up. Uses the rail and Newitt is a key jockey switch. May control the race and will give a sight. Something for the Multiples: ALGERNON (5)

Looking to keep her unbeaten record intact. Closed last prep favourite; was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.3 len at this track 3yo Hcp July 28 over 1200m in soft going defeating Stardarmus with 54kg at $1.90. Improver with claims.

Useful gelding. Last start ran last of 11 at Launceston Bm68 on November 27 over 1400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Exalted Crown carrying 60.5kg at $6.50. The run before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Launceston Bm74 on November 13 over 1420m, on a slow track; head behind Carneros with 57.5kg at $9. Not the worst.

Going well. Most recently 2nd of 8 at this track Bm68 on November 24 over 1100m, 3 len behind Anyways Roxie carrying 58.5kg at $9.50. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Launceston Cl3 November 1 over 1200m defeating Li'l Hail Mary with 58.5kg at $2.50. Marginal hope.
