Hobart Race 2 - Red Coral Food Van Pace

MAJOR LESTER (6) recorded a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 2200m at Launceston. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. NOVA BAXTER (2) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. PUNTARNO STRIDE (5) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at Launceston over 2200m. Something for the Multiples: KENYA NZ (3) PUNTARNO STRIDE NZ (5)

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Settebello at Launceston over 2200m in a NR 60 to 69 on December 1 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second behind Major Celebrity at this track over 1609m in a NR 58 to 64 on December 8 at $6. Can improve. Looks very hard to beat.
