Hobart Race 8

Brighton Hair & Beauty Division1

Prize Money: $4,345

GUS THE JET (2) will take beating coming off a sharp 26.03 victory at this track over 461m. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. GREEDY BUTCHER (1) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 26.35 beating Bonneville. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from five starts. Can measure up again. SCARRED (5) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (26.19) in a Grade 5 at this track last time out. Key player on best and worth another try. LOCHINVAR HORNET (7) in the money here last time and looks a top-three prospect again.

Good performance to win by 1.5 lengths at this track over 461m (26.35) beating Bonneville in Grade 5 on September 3. Most reliable when jumping from this box. Leading chance.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss two back when second (26.20) over 461m at this track. Tends to run fairly well off the tricky draw but appears tested on latest effort.

In the money last time at this track (26.19) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length third. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Makes strong appeal.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (19.89) over 340m at this track. Drawn out wide but capable of a better result.
