Hobart Race 2

Ladbrokes Same Race Multi Pace

Prize Money: $9,700

IMPERIAL LAZ (1) turned in an out-of-character effort last time out when 30 metres away in sixth over 1680m at Launceston after working hard in the run. Form prior to that had been solid. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. MIKIS JOE (9) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5.5 metres from the winner in fourth over 2090m at this track. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. COUGAR EXPRESS (6) must be considered after he finished third over 2090m at this track a week ago. CAN DO MAGIC (4) is in the mix at her third run back after a good win over 1720m at Young three-and-a-half weeks ago.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr4) over 1680m after showing early speed at Launceston beaten 30 m by Barny Bill (2:03.50) in 3yo+ NMT 2 LTW's on April 6 at $3.40. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:55.50) beating Photo First in NR 49 to 54 on March 22 at $2.45. Capable of taking this out.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Blue Label at Launceston over 1680m in a 3yo+ NMT 3 LTW's on April 13 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Justify at this track over 2090m in a 3yo+ NMT 4 LTW's on April 18 at $4.40. Strong chance based on the latest effort.
