An eight-race card in Devonport kicks off the new racing season this Sunday.

After 10 days since the last Tasmanian thoroughbred meeting, punters have a packed nine-race card to work with in Devonport on Wednesday.

North-west based trainer Rowan Hamer says a first starter might be his best chance of a winner at Wednesday’s Devonport meeting where he has a strong team of acceptors.
