Hobart Race 5 - Woodlands Stud Shuttling The World's Greatest Sires Pace
BARBARY TALES (4) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at her last appearance over 2200m at Launceston. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Will have plenty of admirers. IMPERIAL LAZ NZ (2) registered a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 2090m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. MCMAYHEM (1) got the prize two runs back then his luck changed last time when he broke and finished 10 metres back in fourth over 1680m at Launceston. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Live chance in a similar assignment. ONE BIG SHEW (5) last appeared when tenth over 2200m at Launceston seven months ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 2090m after showing early pace at this track beaten 2 m by Colby Sanz (2:41.80) on May 31 at $2.80. Rates highly. Has a low draw and will go well again.

Resuming after six-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last preparation recording a big 3.5 m win as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at Launceston (2:41.60) beating The Bride in 3yo F on November 29 at $1.40 at the bell was 5th-11m 2WWC. Has won when fresh before and looks hard to beat.
