Hobart Race 7 - Woodlands Stud Pace
LIKEYOUFORAREASON (6) is having his first run back from a break of nine weeks. Closed the last prep with a win by 2 metres over 1680m at Launceston. Goes very well when fresh with two victories from as many starts. Will have plenty of admirers. QUETZALLI (5) is a quality filly who has managed two wins and three minor placings from five starts this prep. Produced another fine effort last start when she scored over 2200m at Launceston, coming in 2.5 metres ahead of her rivals. Finds a nice race and can again visit the winners' stall. TAPPY (1) finished third last start over 1720m at Melton a month ago. This looks a suitable race and he appeals as a solid top-three chance. I GOTTA GO (3) must be considered after he finished runner-up when resuming over 2090m at this track two weeks ago.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Some Magic at Geelong over 2100m on June 5 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Tactically Perfect at Melton over 1720m in a 3yo on June 12 at $13. Should be there at the business end.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr5) over 2090m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 70 m by Banjo Star (2:35.70) in 3yo+ on June 28 at $26. Before that 7th (Fr1) over 2090m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 14 m by Rainbow Ranger (2:37.20) in 3yo+ on June 14 at $21. Can improve but this appears a bit rich.

Having his second run back from a spell. Solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 2090m at this track beaten 23 m by Banjo Star (2:35.70) in 3yo+ on June 28 at $17. Sure to be thereabouts.

Three-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Launceston both over 2200m. Last start won by 2.5 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at Launceston (2:44.00) beating Our Willow in 3yo+ FM on June 7 at $5. One of the primary contenders.
