Hobart Race 4

Smithawards Pace

Prize Money: $8,000

OUR DANCE MONKEY (1) resumes after finishing eighth at her latest appearance at Bathurst on January 21. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. This is a nice drop in class so she is sure to prove tough to beat. TALK IS CHEAP (7) went well to finish third two starts ago then recorded a comfortable win last start, scoring by 9 metres over 2090m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. DOLCE DRAMA (4) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. BUSLOAD OF FAITH NZ (6) must be considered after he finished third over 1680m at Launceston a week ago.

Returns after eight months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Seasider at Bathurst over 2260m on January 21 at $26. Winning prospects.

Didn't do much last time out, 9th (Sr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 m by Gobsmacked (1:57.50) on September 11 at $41. Before that 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Lady In Line (1:58.30) on September 6 at $61. Will not find this easy. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start 5th (Sr3) over 1680m at Launceston, beaten 9 m by Our Sweet Trixie (2:03.00) on September 13 at $8. Two runs back 3rd (FT) over 2090m at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Sapphire Gambler (2:39.10) on September 11 at $12. Not keen on his chances in this field.

Two back was well beaten into eleventh behind Might And Temerity at Launceston over 1680m on August 30 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Our Sweet Trixie at Launceston over 1680m on September 13 at $31. Progressing well. Solid top-three prospects.

In good form recently. Last start posted a big 9 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (2:35.50) beating Rose Noire in on September 11 at $2.10. Hard to beat again.
