Hobart Race 8

Happy Birthday Mikayla Pace

Prize Money: $9,700

CELEBRITY ROYAL (3) resumes from a spell of 20 months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1690m at Maryborough. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. FUN TO LOVE NZ (1) has been racing very well and deserved her success last time out, scoring by 17 metres over 2150m at Carrick. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. OZZIE CORKA (4) is flying at present with three successive wins to his name, most recently at this track a week ago. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. ANOTHER NIEN (6) last appeared when he scored by one metre over 1680m at Launceston three-and-a-half months ago. Should be thereabouts and is worth including in combinations.

Last start 6th (Sr4) over 2090m at this track, beaten 6 m by Ozzie Corka (2:33.40) in NR 60 to 69 on January 4 at $15. Before that, 8th (Sr2) over 2150m at Carrick beaten 40 m by My Way (2:38.80) in NR 64 to 74 on December 28 at $6. Looks a big threat from a decent gate.

Last start 6th (Fr6) over 2150m after showing early pace at Carrick beaten 20 m by My Way (2:38.80) in NR 64 to 74 on December 28 at $20. Two runs back 5th (Fr2) over 2090m at this track, beaten 7 m by Maddis Tiger (2:33.30) in No NR on December 21 at $17. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.
