Hobart Race 2

Tasmanian Horse Transport Pace

Stake: $8,800

SUE NIEN (1) looks close to a win after placing in two of her last three starts, finishing second last time at this circuit, beaten 5.5 metres. The ace draw gives her every chance to strike. The recent form of QUEENOFDANCE (6) has been hard to fault. Scored at her latest appearance here, giving her two wins and two placings from her last four outings. Going well enough to overcome a wider draw. CARUSO STAR (3) switches from Victoria where he was only 2.3m from the winner at his most recent appearance at Cranbourne. Can measure up. The in-form OUR ARABELLA (2) draws well and won her only attempt at this circuit and distance so must be considered.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Out Of Eden at this track over 2090m in a 3yo+ NMT 2 LTW's on October 27 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second behind Queenofdance at this track over 1120m in a NR 39 to 41 on November 15 at $3.80. Top chance.

Last start game effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1120m at this track beaten 6 m by Alberio (1:19.50) in NR 41 to 48 on November 15 at $3. Two runs back won by 12 m when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (2:37.30) beating Strawberry Bling in NR up to 44 on November 10 at $4.80 at the bell was leading 3.8. Nicely drawn and looks a player.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr3) over 1120m at this track beaten 30 m by Alberio (1:19.50) in NR 41 to 48 on November 15 at $10. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr4) over 2180m at Burnie, beaten 55 m by Rocks Roy (2:48.10) in NR 45 to 54 on November 8 at $41. Looking to others.

Returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into third behind Horrie Otara at Launceston over 2200m in a NR 40 to 44 on July 12 at $2.35. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.75 m when quickly away, (Fr4) held up early, at Echuca (2:47.10) beating Terrorleen in 4yo+ C0 on December 13 2018 at $10.90. Can play a role in the finish.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Our Arabella at this track over 2090m in a NR up to 44 on November 10 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Alberio at this track over 1120m in a NR 41 to 48 on November 15 at $5. Shapes as one to consider.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
