Hobart Race 6 - Tasmania Cup 19th December Pace
CUSTOM HARLEY (3) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Added to the list last start when he scored over 2579m at this track, getting home by a nose. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and he can go right on with the job. INTRUSION (1) ran eleventh last start at Launceston over 1680m, beaten 55 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. POWER UP NZ (2) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 6 metres at Launceston over 1680m. ROCKANDAHARDPLACE (6) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 2200m at Launceston three weeks ago.

Failed to impress last start; 11th (Fr4) over 1680m after being wide early at Launceston beaten 55 m by Waves Of Chance (1:59.60) on July 19 at $4.20. Showed ability the run before when he won by 2.25 m (Sr2) at Launceston (2:42.10) beating Sabine in on July 5 at $3.80. Sure to go well.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 2200m at Launceston, beaten 21 m by Intrusion (2:42.10) on July 5 at $31. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (10m Fr2) over 2200m at Launceston, beaten 10 m by Shes Allaboutluv (2:45.60) on June 21 at $91. Will be about the money.
