Hobart Race 8 - Rccc Civil Contracting Hcp (C1)
ROXY DANCER (4) was beaten as the favourite on debut here last season after showing plenty of talent at the trials, and with more time to mature, she was too strong fresh up here 12 days ago when scoring by nearly a length over 1000m. Top hoop Anthony Darmanin replaces an apprentice, and she looks capable of racing right through the grades this season. VERHOEVEN (5) ran on late fresh up at Launceston just over 6 weeks ago, and has been freshened up again. If he doesn't need the hit-out, then he is capable of figuring in the top 4 here. LAWRENNY BOYS (3) fought on gamely for a well beaten second fresh up behind a very smart type here 12 days ago. He will be peaking third up, and with the aid of a 4kg claim, he will be very competitive again. PARTY DAY (9) showed plenty of pace in her 2 starts last prep on the Devonport poly track, and she may try similar front running tactics fresh up in this. Include in wider combos. MISS LYRA (8) has been racing consistently, and will do so again.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation second last of 12 at Launceston Cl1 March 27 over 1200m, soft track; 10 len behind Geegees Downpour with 57.5kg at $3.40. At his first start favourite; won by 1.75 len Launceston Mdn-Sw February 25 over 1200m defeating Arianna's Gold with 56kg at $4.60. Prefer to see how he returns.

Third-up today. Resuming tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 in a Cl2 at Launceston on October 9 over 1100m, 5 len behind Jenni The Cat with 56kg at $13. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 in a Cl1 at this track on November 3 over 1200m, 4 len behind John Of Jane with 55kg at $14. Looks very tough to beat.

Second-up. Promising on debut led but faded 3rd of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on May 24 over 1200m, slow going 2.25 len behind Geegees Ace carrying 56.5kg at $2.80. Went for a break before returning favourite; won by 0.8 len in a Mdn-Sw at this track on November 3 over 1000m defeating Fierce Spirit carrying 55kg at $2.40. Still has scope for improvement and is likely to feature.

Second-up. Comes off a 44-day let-up. First-up after three months eased back early on 6th of 9 in a Cl1 at Launceston on October 2 over 1200m, slow going 3.5 len behind Vortistar carrying 58.5kg at $9. Previously second-up 5th of 13 in a Cl1 at this track on July 19 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Southern Auroras with 57.5kg at $5.50. Rates highly and is among the leading hopes.

Form hard to fault. Last start rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 12 in a Cl1 at this track on November 3 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind John Of Jane with 54.5kg at $7.50. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 in a Cl1 at Launceston on October 23 over 1120m, 1.0 len behind Mcveigh with 54.5kg at $2.60. Has been racing well. Should go forward again and cannot be underestimated.
