Hobart Race 1

Prydes Easifeed Pace

Prize Money: $14,000

MIGHT AND TEMERITY (5) was out of the money two runs back at Goulburn, then displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 1.75 metres over 1609m at this track. Her last-start form is good enough to put her right in the finish. HORATIUS SPECULO (8) resumes from a spell of four months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 2090m at this track. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. MEL RUSTY KITA (2) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Nikita Jo at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ MAIDEN on April 11 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Might And Temerity at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ MAIDEN on May 4 at $6.50. Expected to go well again.

Last start won by 1.2 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Launceston (2:04.60) beating Oravoir in 3yo+ MAIDEN on April 27 at $2.20. Rates highly and is a major threat.

Returns after four months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 10 m finishing second behind Mikis Joe at this track over 2090m in a 3yo+ NMT 1 LTW on January 17 at $3.10. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 9 m win (Sr4) at Carrick (2:05.30) beating Unobetter in 2yo MAIDEN on December 29 at $2.35. In fine form. Can continue the good form and take this out.
