Hobart Race 8 - Tasmanian Horse Transport Pace
ENJOY LIFE (2) stretched his unbeaten run to three when he came from the back row to score four weeks ago at Launceston, getting home by a head. Kept up to the mark with a trial since and the much better draw gives him every chance to deliver again. LOUGLE (3) locked wheels and broke last start so that result can be forgiven. Won twice in a row prior and draws well so is worth another chance. STRANDED LOLLIPOP (5) hasn't raced for ten weeks but showed some good form last time in including a Launceston win two back. Usually races well fresh. Include along with PREPARATION (1) who hasn't raced since falling in November but he is unbeaten here and gets the ace draw.

Comes here in the right form. Won by a head as favourite (Sr3) at Launceston (2:42.20) beating Lougle in 3yo+ NMT 2 LTW's on January 31 at $1.24. Two runs back won by 23 m as favourite (Fr4) at Carrick (2:00.30) beating Our Willow in 3yo+ 1-2 LTW's on January 25 at $1.18. The low draw gives him every chance to maintain the unbeaten record.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind Dazzle Me at Carrick over 2150m in a NR 60 to 64 on February 22 at $1.30. Raced better the start before that where he won by 2.5 m as favourite (Sr3) at this track (1:58.00) beating Our Willow in 3yo+ NMT 2 LTW's on February 13 at $1.24. Draws well so can be there at the business end.
