Our Hobart Racing Tips for Tuesdays meeting.
Don’tbuckme Off (Hobart Race 5 No. 1)
John Luttrell trains this five-year-old Wordsmith gelding who has five wins and seven places from 21 starts. He finished 0.5 length 2nd over 1200m at Hobart on 14 November, seeing the rest off easily, then surged clear for a 2 length win over 1200m at Hobart on 28 November. Has drawn the inside barrier and will be hard to beat.

Each Way
Gee Gees Punter (Hobart Race 4 No. 5):
This five-year-old Wordsmith gelding trained by Stuart Gandy has one win and 11 places from 28 starts. When resuming from a 28 week spell he only really got clear in the final 50m and finished 0.5 length 2nd over 1220m at Launceston on 22 October, then he ran on strongly out wide for a length 2nd over 1200m at Hobart on 28 November. Looks a great each-way hope again.

Best Lay
Gee Gees Punter Starion (Hobart Race 7 No. 2):
This three-year-old Dundeel gelding has one win and two places from five starts and is the early favourite in this Maiden/Class 1 over 1600m. He was a 0.5 length winner of a maiden plate over 1600m at Kilmore on 21 November, then finished 2 lengths 5th over 1430m at Hobart on 19 December. This race looks quite open and I’m prepared to risk him here.

Key Comments There are 9 races including the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (race 8). The track is soft and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Angel Capital (Doomben Race 6 No. 5) Debuted for a 2.3 length win at Cranbourne where he came from last and wound up from the top of the straight to flash home down the outside. Jamie Kah sticks and he looks a lovely colt. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The main feature is the Group 3 $200,000 Belmont Sprint (race 8). The track is Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Generosity (Belmont Race 5 No. 2) She has had 2 placings this campaign where she’s made a big run from well back in the field.
