Hobart Race 2

Tasmanian Horse Transport Pace

Prize Money: $14,000

MEL RUSTY KITA (10) finished third last start, beaten 25 metres at this track over 2090m. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Meets a similar line up so he will be hard to beat. STEPUPNDANCE (7) is a lightly-raced mare who produced a career-best effort last start, finishing third over 1680m at Launceston. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Recent efforts are good enough to win a race of this calibre. JILLIBY RANDAL (9) did a good job to finish in the minor placings two runs back then things went sour last time when he broke and finished a long way back in ninth over 2090m at this track. Meets a similar line up so if he behaves a big run is likely. LUVTHAT (6) last appeared when eighth over 1650m at Yarra Valley a year ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep.

Last start 5th (Fr3) over 1680m after showing early pace at Launceston, beaten 8 m by True Image (2:03.60) in 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 10 at $31. Before that, 9th (Fr6) over 2200m at Launceston beaten 10 m by Barbette (2:45.50) in 3yo+ MAIDEN on July 27 at $41. Capable of a better showing.

Comes here second-up after two weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when was driven from back in the field when 11th (Fr2) over 2090m at this track, beaten 55 m by Hungry Hippo (2:33.20) in 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 2 at $61. Unlikely to threaten against this field.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Barbette at Launceston over 2200m in a 3yo+ MAIDEN on July 27 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind True Image at Launceston over 1680m in a 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 10 at $14. Progressive type who is expected to go well again.

Last start was well beaten into ninth after a quick start, behind Hungry Hippo at this track over 2090m in a 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 2 at $6. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Sr4) over 1680m at Terang was 9th-22.2m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 1.2 m by Jilliby Amigo (2:04.10) in MAIDEN on June 25 at $12. Sure to be there at the business end.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing second after a quick start, behind I Of The Hurrikane at this track over 2090m in a NR 45 to 49 on July 25 at $9. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Hungry Hippo at this track over 2090m in a 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 2 at $6. Will be right in the thick of things.

Finished eighth at her last two starts since resuming from a spell. Last outing was beaten 17 metres behind True Image at Launceston over 1680m 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 10. This looks a suitable assignment.
