Hobart Race 5

Claire & Daddo Division1

Prize Money: $3,465

IF I'M LUCKY (1) has been out of the placings at his last two outings but shapes well for this if he can recapture his flying win a few runs back, getting around this track over 340m in 19.28. Smart win three back and looks a key chance here. BUZZ THE HUSTLER (3) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at this track over 340m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Hard to beat again. WHISKY BARREL (5) was a strong 25.98 winner of a Grade 5 at this track last start. Harder here but expected to feature again. ALIEN FORCE (8) form at this course and distance reads well.

Looks close to another win after his success on August 12 at this track over 461m. Last start was second over 340m in 19.56, behind Myall Clyde. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.

Easy winner to post a big 6 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a good 25.98 over the 461m journey. Hard to top on that run.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Grade 4 on October 29 over 278m at Launceston behind Cross The River beaten 2.25 lengths (16.52). Placed two back at Launceston. Has ability and worth including.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
