Hobart
Verdict
DAYTONA DIVA (5) scored impressively two starts back at this track, and then stepped up in class last time out, finishing third over 1400m at Launceston, after racing on the pace throughout. She steps up to a mile and is the one to beat. TASSIE POWER (7) ran well two starts ago at Launceston, and then followed up over 2000m here last start, finishing fifth over 2000m. The drop back in trip should suit, making him a strong each-way chance. ROYAL DISPATCH (1) resumed with a sixth over 1400m at this track and has since switched stables. He was runner-up in a recent trial and is nicely placed after a 3kg claim. Watch closely. FIORENTE DE LEGEND (8) flew home last start to grab second, beaten just by a nose over 1600m here. He boasts 2 wins and 5 placings from 9 attempts at the trip, and can go one better. MISS DE LUNE (10) was right in the mix last start when finishing third. She is peaking at the right time, and is another that is worth including in all top 4 combos.

VerdictMost recently led but faded 3rd of 7 at this track Cl4 Sw on December 14 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Georgaroni carrying 57kg at $9.50. The race before that eased back early on 4th of 8 at this track Cl3 on December 5 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Magnaprime carrying 56.5kg at $11. Might find this a bit too tough.- 7. Tassie Power
