Hobart Race 6 - Woodlands Stud Sires Produce
BANJO STAR (4) has been very good at both appearances this prep. Scored first up at Launceston then finished 4 metres from the winner in second over 2200m at Launceston at the latest run a week ago. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. I GOTTA GO (2) scored by a neck over 1609m at this track at his last run on February 1. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Will have plenty of admirers. HIGH BELIEVER (3) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fifth at Launceston over 2200m. Hard to find fault. GEMMY LOU (1) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when second at Launceston over 2200m.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Quetzalli at Launceston over 2200m in a 3yo on May 29 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Banjo Star at Launceston over 2200m in a 3yo on June 12 at $9. Another big run would not surprise.

First up. At the last run he won by a neck when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (2:01.00) beating Areyawatchingthis in 3yo+ on February 1 at $3.40 at the bell was leading 4m on the pegs. One to consider while fresh.
