Best Bets
Our Hobart Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Captain Dave (Hobart Race 1 No. 3)
Best bet comes up in the first with CAPTAIN DAVE. Pretty simple this one, he went enormous last start against the pattern from a disgusting draw and should get all favours up on speed here drawn Gate 3 with Chelsea Baker on board. I think he’s pretty much a living breathing moral*. Can’t have the opening favourite anywhere near the $2.30 it’s opened up, had all favours on a leaders deck last start.
* I’d probably take red figures if bandages weren’t going on here – no real concern as horse hasn’t had many health issues, and is likely a precautionary gear change.
BACK Captain Dave for 2 units WIN at $2.50+
Each Way
Buel (Hobart Race 3 No. 14):
BUEL hasn’t been sighted since his trial in November 2021 where he raced green as a grass behind Geegeeluckytar, who’s proven to be a serviceable horse since then. I think they’ve kept him hidden to pull off a cheeky sting and collect the TASBRED bonuses available. Siggy Carr goes straight on from a wide alley, if she can be 3 wide with cover or even up on speed this 2YO could prove hard to hold out.
BACK Buel for 1 unit WIN at $6.00+
Best Lay
Tarkine Eagle (Hobart Race 8 No. 3):
Tricky card to find a LAY of the day, but I think I’ll be doing so in the last with opening favourite, TARKINE EAGLE. I do have him marginal favourite in this but this is certainly his hardest task to date, and I could back runners 1,4,6 or even 8 to beat him here – providing it’s a genuinely run race. 1400m probably sees him out and I think there’s enough talent in this field to take him on at the current quote. I’ll be also laying him the place if he remains so short in the market.
LAY Tarkine Eagle for 1 unit (WIN + PLACE) at < $3.00/1.40

Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. This track usually favours those on speed. Best Bet Final Atom (Horsham Race 7 No. 1) Should land up on speed and prove hard to catch.

Key Comments The best bet bobs up in the first. The track is in the heavy range. Best Bet Snatchreilly (Newcastle Race 1 No. 5) Good 2 efforts so far this prep. Maps really well, goes forward and Latham sticks. Slight query on heavy ground but ticks all the other boxes.
