Hobart Race 8

Typeface Pace

Prize Money: $8,000

HEY POSTER BOY (1) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. EYE SEE AMOUR (3) finished seventh last start over 1680m at Launceston, beaten 17 metres, after a modest seventh at Launceston the run prior. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Finds a suitable assignment and can make amends. JEREMY WELLS NZ (4) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1680m at Launceston. GOBSMACKED (6) is worth some thought based on his second over 1680m at Launceston two runs ago.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Sr4) over 1680m at Launceston beaten 17 m by Go Diva (2:04.80) on July 5 at $8.50. The run previous 7th (Sr3) over 2200m at Launceston beaten 15 m by Chamonix (2:42.90) on June 26 at $6.50. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.

Last start 9th (Sr1) over 1680m at Launceston, beaten 9 m by Debt Till We Part (2:05.10) on June 26 at $12. At her previous start 6th (Sr4) over 1680m at Launceston beaten 35 m by Winsum Bella (2:02.50) on June 12 at $6.50. Rates highly on best form and she is a strong winning chance.

Last start 8th (Sr3) over 1680m at Launceston, beaten 20 m by Go Diva (2:04.80) on July 5 at $19. Before that, a game effort when 2nd (Sr3) over 1680m at Launceston, beaten a head by Debt Till We Part (2:05.10) on June 26 at $4.20. One to consider as his best is good enough.
