Hobart Race 2 - Good Friday Dual Code Meeting 18 April Pace
MY MATE LUKE (1) was successful last time out by 7 metres in a far better performance at Launceston over 2200m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat again. ROLLIN MARY (2) finished fifth last start over 2090m at this track, beaten 16 metres after suffering a flat tyre mid race, a good win at Launceston the run prior. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up and she can make amends. SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (6) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2090m at this track. HERES HENRY (4) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 2090m at this track.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Fr2) over 2090m at this track beaten 22 m by Oneofthelads (2:34.90) in NR 40 to 44 on March 28 at $31. Before that 7th (Fr2) over 2200m at Launceston, beaten 40 m by Morris Brown (2:45.10) in NR 40 to 44 on March 23 at $26. Hard to have on those efforts.
