Hobart Race 7 - Morey’s Sports And Music Tours (Bm72)

ARAYA SUNSHINE (7) led all the way to victory against three rivals in a Class 4 over this course and distance last start. Honest mare who can win again down on 54kgs. ETOSHA (4) appreciated the drop in class when an all-the-way winner over 1100m here five weeks ago. Loves this circuit and should be competitive - the final 50m will be the test. SWEET LUCIFER (5) has been freshened up since an ordinary effort over this trip at Launceston on 14 March. Recent trial winner whose record here at this distance is outstanding. Should play a big role. NICCO THE GREEK (2) resumes. Has been in the money four of five when fresh so must be respected. Veteran GALENUS (1) is slowly finding form and should be peaking now at the fourth run back.

Useful type. Returns from a 30-day let-up. At the latest run gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at Launceston Open on March 28 over 1200m, on a slow track; head behind Turk Warrior carrying 53kg at $4.20. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Launceston Open Hcp on March 14 over 1120m, 1.2 len behind Turk Warrior carrying 52.5kg at $10. Heading the right way and is worth plenty of thought.

Useful gelding. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start favourite; won by 0.5 len at this track Bm68 March 23 over 1100m on a rain affected track defeating Warica carrying 56kg at $2.40. The run before that couldn't go on with it; ran last of 9 at Launceston Qlty Hcp on February 26 over 1200m, 7 len behind And Beyond with 54.5kg at $31. Has returned to form and can go back-to-back.

Most recently won by 1.5 len at this track Cl4 Sw April 6 over 1200m in soft going defeating Stardarmus carrying 55kg at $4.20. The run before that raced on the pace when 3rd of 9 at this track Bm68 on March 23 over 1100m, slow going 1.5 len behind Etosha carrying 54kg at $11. Will give a great sight again.
