Hobart Race 7 - Tasmania Cup 22Nd March Pace
BETTER EXCLUSIVE (1) was hampered by a flat tyre last time so prepared to overlook that result. Led them up here two back so has the gate speed to take advantage of the inside barrier. ARDEN ROANOKE (7) ran fourth last start at Carrick and came from this barrier when beaten only 4.6m at this venue two back. Can be right in the finish. SHARMEY (8) recorded back-to-back wins at this circuit last month so is good enough with his best form and even luck from the second line. LOYOLA TRIOS (5) could be close to a win following back-to-back placings from the second row.

Didn't do much last start, 10th (Fr1) over 2090m at this track, beaten 19 m by Spooky Girl (2:37.40) in NR 55 to 59 on February 14 at $16. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track beaten 3.5 m by Shooin (1:58.30) in NR 58 to 62 on February 2 at $10. This looks far too tough.

Good performance when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Kosygin Leis at Launceston over 2200m in a NR 50 to 54 GH on February 8 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Angelshavtime at Carrick over 1670m in a NR 50 to 55 on February 16 at $7. Likely to be thereabouts again.
