Hobart Race 5

Ladbrokes Zoom H Division3

Prize Money: $3,745

HARD STYLE LEON (8) was a last start winner (19.16) from Box 8 at this track. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Expected to be right there at the finish again. CHOCOLATE'S CAN (1) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (16.36) over 278m at Launceston in a Grade 5. Has never been out of the money in five starts this course and distance. Got the money at his only try from this box. Expected to run well. CHALUPA BATMAN (7) finished second last time (16.28) at Launceston after winning at his previous two outings. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Expected to feature. DEFENSIVE (4) produced a dominant 19.38 win last time. Not to be underestimated.

Good effort to win last start by 2.25 lengths over 461m at this track in a handy (25.77), beating Simply Danger. Will find this a bit tougher, can't enthuse on this occasion.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 5.5 lengths over 340m at this track in a handy 19.16, beating Gravitational. Has run hot time here with a 19.16 PB at the distance. Key chance.
