Hobart Race 8

Life Member Mr Andrew Scanlon Plate (C1)

Stake: $28,500

Not many win chances. ALPINE COWGIRL (5) is in form and look the one to beat again. Way too good latest over a mile and first try at the trip expected to go close. TASSIE POWER (4) is in good form and is on the quick back-up after finishing runner-up over a mile at Launceston on Wednesday. Rates highly if lining up again. STRATOJACK (3) has been settling back and getting home hard over a mile and may well be looking for the longer journey now. Has the claim and a low draw and should be ready to fire after three runs back. TIDEFORD (7) has been thereabouts and is at least seasoned over the trip. Can give a big sight. CATCH A BREAK (1) has been safely held last couple over similar distances. Rates highly on best figures and gets his chance to turn things around.

At the latest run eased back early on 7th of 10 at this track Cl1 on November 23 over 1600m, 7 len behind Henley Extreme carrying 55.5kg at $5. The start before that 5th of 12 at Launceston Cl1 on October 29 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Navarre River with 56.5kg at $10. Has been getting home late and looks ideally suited by the extra ground now.

Racing well recently. Last start 3rd in a small field at Launceston Mdn/Cl1-Sw on November 21 over 2100m, 5 len behind Alisent with 57kg at $12. The run before that 3rd of 9 at this track Mdn/Cl1-Sw on November 8 over 2050m, slow going 4.5 len behind Zurich carrying 57kg at $17. Thereabouts and at peak can give a tremendous sight.
