Hobart Race 6 - Olive Tree Catering (Bm66)
The majority raced each other last time with little between them and might only be the swing in the weights separating them again. MERLIN BEACH (3) is a super consistent galloper rarely out of the frame in his career. Stalked the pace last time and kept coming to just fail to rein in NATIVE CLAN. Meets the winner 2.5kg better and can turn the tables. DON'T GIVE UP (1)was fourth in the same race, running on strongly and also meets the winner 2.5kg better. Expected to go close. NATIVE CLAN (4) rolled forward and wasn't for catching to score over the majority of these. Rises 2.5kg but has the fence and will take catching again. HAPPY CLAN (2) was third placed in that race and did win only the this course and distance. AL MAXIMUS (6) was below bets in the same race and drops in weight. Can atone.

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track on August 5 over 2100m, slow going 0.5 len behind Native Clan with 56.5kg at $3.10. The race before that favourite; won by a neck at this track on July 19 over 1600m on a soft track defeating Don Turboas carrying 59kg at $4. Super consistent and will be hard to beat.

At the latest run won by 0.5 len at this track on August 5 over 2100m in soft going defeating Merlin Beach carrying 52.5kg at $4.60. The start before that 5th of 14 at this track on July 19 over 1600m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Miles 'N' Miles carrying 54.5kg at $16. More weight but will take catching again off the low draw.
