Hobart Race 7

Botra Novice Drivers Series Heat Three

Prize Money: $9,700

STEPUPNDANCE (3) scored by 2.5 metres at this track over 2090m last start, the second win from her past four outings. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. IDEN OLIVER (2) is racing well with five top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at this track over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of another big performance. COOLANDCOLLECT (6) is in the mix following some decent efforts when off the back row of late. LOUTENANT NZ (5) is another better served by tonight's draw.

Two back was well beaten into third after being driven well back, after showing early speed, behind Sweet Dixie at this track over 2090m in a NR 50 to 54 on April 17 at $3.90. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Luvthat at this track over 1609m in a NR 50 to 53 on April 24 at $5.50. Has definite claims.

Last start 12th (Sr3) over 1680m at Launceston beaten 35 m by Chris Be Quick (2:04.10) in NR up to 49 on April 19 at $7.50. Before that, 6th (Sr1) over 2090m at this track beaten 8 m by Iden Oliver (2:34.70) in NR 47 to 51 on April 3 at $11. Rates highly and looks hard to beat on best form.

Before that was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 5 m by Lalibela (2:01.70) in NR up to 42 on April 17 at $4.40.
