Hobart hosts a nine race programme this Tuesday, highlighted by a small but competitive 2yo Handicap and a highly challenging Class 4 Handicap.
Stuart Gandy trained speedster by name and nature, Gee Gees Jet looks well placed to get his second win in his career against a select field of competitors.
Winning impressively over 1100m after a short let up after the Listed Elwick Stakes, Gee Gees Jet finished 4 lengths back in his latest outing after a tough run on the heavy surface.
His main dangers will be Nissky, a son of Strategic and half-brother to Hobart Guineas placegetter Varian and Turtles Nest, another talented Terry Evans-trained colt.
Nissky, trained by Ian Hay, begun his career in the best possible fashion with victory at the track three weeks prior whilst Turtles Nest has been very consistent against the best two-year-olds in the state.
Gee Gees Jet gets a significant gear change of blinkers first time for the 1200m journey and the addition of Devonport apprentice Victor Wong.
Wong has been a valuable asset to Gandy over the past few months with his three kilo claim and continues his association with the stable, taking 5 rides on the program, including the resurgent Jay Bee’s Gee Gee and Gee Gees Style.
Gee Gees Style is one of ten that line up in a highly competitive Class 4 in Race 8.
Many horses have shown a liking to a soft to heavy surface with barriers and weights guaranteed to play a huge part in the race outcome.
StrideMASTER Speed Maps show a genuine tempo being set over the 1100m contest with many horses looking to set the early pace.
Hobart Trainer Scott Brunton has new stable addition Beck And Call engaged for the contest.
Already a winner at the track and distance, Beck And Call will relish the conditions after not been seen since July.
