Hobart Race 8

Morey's Tours Pace

Prize Money: $8,000

SUE NIEN (1) finished second last start over 1680m at Launceston, beaten 3 metres, after a good win at Launceston the run prior. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and she can bounce back to winning form. WILL HE PIKE (5) finished third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. NO NUKES SKIPPER (6) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. SHOOIN (3) disappointed last time when seventh over 1680m at Launceston. Can turn things around.

At his previous start 4th (Fr3) over 2090m at this track beaten 11 m by Denny (2:34.90) in NR 58 to 62 on March 28 at $31. Capable of more than he has shown recently.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track was 5th-8.6m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 19 m by Denny (1:55.10) in NR 58 to 62 on April 11 at $6.50. Showed ability the run before when he won by a head after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Launceston (2:45.30) beating Rocks Roy in NR 53 to 57 on April 6 at $4.20. Sure to be in the mix.
