Hobart Race 2 - Woodlands Stud George Johnson Mares (Listed Classic)
ULTIMACTION (3) was a hot favourite when resuming but manners let her down. Went to the paddock off a string of wins and has never missed a place when second-up. Has strong statistics at the circuit and distance and draws well so will be hard to stop if she gets it right. ZARA TINDALL NZ (1) has been coming from some tough barriers of late and had no luck when held at a vital stage last start. Well served by the ace draw so can do much better. STEPPING STONES (6) is better placed against her own sex after tackling a Tasmania Cup heat last start. NOVA BAXTER (5) was down the track last time but had recorded a series of wins and placings prior so is worth another chance.

Good run when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Wazza at this track over 2090m in a 3yo+ NMT 6 LTW's on February 1 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second behind Mikiyoursofine at Burnie over 2180m in a 4yo+ NMT 6 LTW's on February 6 at $3.20. Draws well so a good performance is expected.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (10m Fr1) over 2650m at Carrick, beaten 18 m by The Chancer (3:22.90) in NR 65 or better on February 22 at $8.50. Showed ability the race before when she won by 3 m as favourite (Sr4) held up early, at Launceston (2:04.80) beating Mr Bondi in NR 65 to 74 on February 8 at $3.90. Can bounce back.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th (Fr3) over 2579m at this track, beaten 18 m by Triedtotellya (3:09.50) in No NR on February 13 at $91. At the previous start 5th (10m Fr2) over 2698m at Launceston beaten 6 m by Maebee (3:23.50) in No NR on January 31 at $26. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a good showing.
