STAR Tasmanian galloper Geegees Blackflash is likely to start a warm favourite in Sunday’s AAMI Hobart Cup after drawing a favorable gate at the official Cup barrier draw at Tattersall’s Park this morning (Tuesday).

Geegees Blackflash will start from barrier six in the field of 10 that accepted for the $225,000 Group 3 race over 2200 metres.

The field is evenly balanced with five interstate invaders and as many local hopes.

Geegees Blackflash is unbeaten from four starts this season and there is suggestion that his effortless last-start win in the Summer Cup by six lengths carrying 60kg was enough to prevent many of the original nominees from becoming final acceptors for the Tasmanian Racing Club’s showcase event.
