Hobart Race 8

Woodlands Stud Shuttling The Worlds Greatest Sires Pace

Prize Money: $9,700

SWEET DIXIE (2) is in good form with top-five finishes at her last four starts, most recently recording a third over 2090m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Her recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. STEPUPNDANCE (3) finished fourth last start over 2090m at this track, beaten 21 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and she can turn in a much better performance. BARBETTE (1) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 2200m at Launceston six weeks ago. SUE NIEN (4) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track seven-and-a-half weeks ago.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Likeyouforareason at this track over 2090m in a 3yo+ NMT 3 LTW's on April 24 at $9. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Barber Shop at this track over 2090m in a 3yo+ NMT 3 LTW's on May 3 at $7.20. Best form should see her go well again.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Iden Oliver at this track over 2090m in a NR 50 to 55 on May 3 at $2.90. Performed better the start before where she won by 2.5 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (2:36.10) beating Peanut Sutter in NR 45 to 49 on April 24 at $2.30. Drawn favourably and worth another chance.
