Hobart Race 1 - Ron Banks Life Member Mdn Plate
Several close to breaking through. SORELL EAGLES (5) was beaten just a long neck last start and landed his first top-three finish in the process at this track over 1380m. Looks close to a win and gets chance. LIGHT WORK (7) was thereabouts last time out when fourth over 1350m at Devonport Synthetic after she was well back on straightening. The extra journey should play into her hands. Right in the mix. CALLED THROUGH (3) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1880m at Devonport Synthetic. Will be winding up late. TIMELY NEEDS (6) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fifth over 1380m at this track. Can feature in the finish. STRIP'N'TOUGH (9) will be handy in the run and is another not far off a win.

Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 10 at Devonport Synthetic Mdn-Sw on June 14 over 1350m, 8 len behind Nataldi with 58.5kg at $9. The race before that did the work up front then tired 6th of 8 at Devonport Synthetic Mdn-Sw on May 3 over 1350m, 12 len behind Khaleesi's Dream carrying 58.5kg at $4. Can't enthuse.

Was at very long odds at debut, ran last of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on June 7 over 1380m, slow going 11 len behind Jedd's Jet carrying 58.5kg at $51. Will take valuable race experience and fitness from the run although doubtful he can improve enough.

Racing well recently. Most recently came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 10 at Devonport Synthetic Mdn-Sw on June 14 over 1350m, 2.75 len behind Nataldi carrying 56.5kg at $9. Before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Devonport Synthetic Mdn-Sw on May 31 over 1650m, 1.3 len behind Cold Aza Beer with 56.5kg at $8.50. Must come into consideration over this longer journey.

Second run back. First-up after four months 8th of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on June 7 over 1380m, slow going 6 len behind Jedd's Jet with 53.5kg at $17. Previously second-up ran last of 14 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 18 over 1600m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Alpine Honey with 52kg at $31. Still early in the prep and might need more time.
