Hobart Race 10 - Racing Connect Pace
MY WAY NZ (5) continued his impressive run of recent efforts last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. This is a nice drop in grade so he is sure to prove tough to beat again. STRANDED LOLLIPOP (3) resumes from a spell of ten weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1680m at Launceston. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. SERIOUSLY SAM (7) is worth thought after finishing fourth first-up over 2090m at this track last time out. ART HUNTSMAN (8) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good second over 1680m at Launceston two runs back.

Didn't do much last time out, 8th (Fr4) over 2090m at this track well beaten by Ourtiger (2:33.80) in 3yo+ NMT 4 LTW's on October 26 at $151. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Rock On Playboy (1:59.00) in NR 45 to 49 on October 17 at $51. Draws the inside but it has been a long while between drinks so happy to overlook.

First up. At the last run he posted a big 13 m win as favourite (Fr2) at Launceston (2:03.30) beating Sabine in 3yo+ NMT 4 LTW's on August 31 at $1.60 at the bell was leading 4.2m on the pegs. Expected to be in the finish.

Last start 5th (Sr1) over 2090m at this track, beaten 30 m by Ourtiger (2:33.80) in 3yo+ NMT 4 LTW's on October 26 at $14. At her previous start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 2090m at this track, beaten 17 m by Zara Tindall (2:35.50) in NR 58 to 63 on October 12 at $11. Certainly up to this and she is a major player.

Lacklustre performance first-up at this course beaten 23 m fourth after showing early speed, behind Ourtiger over 2090m in a 3yo+ NMT 4 LTW's on October 26. Strips fitter and is a winning chance.

Last start 8th (Fr7) over 1680m after showing early pace at Launceston, beaten 21 m by Ray Dan (2:02.10) in NR 58 to 63 on October 19 at $10. At the run before solid effort when 2nd (Sr2) over 1680m at Launceston beaten 6 m by Mista Eagle (2:02.10) in NR 59 to 63 on October 5 at $26. Looks a contender if finds best form here.
